From #cz Even with super low fees, BNB Chain ranked 3rd in terms of fees collected among all the L1s and L2s. Ethereum and Bitcoin are still taking the lead.

From #cz Executives from a client were lured on a 'business trip' to Montenegro, where they were abducted and forced to empty their wallets. Total loss -$12.5m.
We investigated the on chain activities and reached out to our partners earlier today to have the wallet frozen, as all of the funds were taken in USDT and transferred to a Tron wallet. We managed to freeze about $11.8m of the $12.5m stolen.
From #cz Some Simple Tips When Using Crypto in Contracts (not Smart Contract)
A few friends asked me recently, is it normal or easy to accept crypto payments in contracts?
Yes, it's easy. However, there are some simple considerations.
The simplest approach is when both parties agree on a specific amount of a specific currency. Eg. 100 BNB or 1 BTC. This is straightforward. No conversion rate issues. No ambiguity. You give a receiving address (or a Binance Pay id), they pay, and you are done. It has some drawbacks. The price of the asset may fluctuate in fiat terms. This may be more of a problem if the contract involves several payments over a long period of time.
Another approach is to specify a fiat amount to be paid in a crypto currency. Eg, 1000 JPY paid in BTC. If the crypto currency is a stable coin, it is generally easy. But remember, even stable coins can de-peg from time to time. You may want to include a depegging limit and specify a few alternatives.
If you specify $1000 USD equivalent to be paid in BTC, then you will have to specify how to determine the conversion rate. You could use the daily open price on Binance.com, or a 5 day average on the day of the payment. Be as specific as possible, and as objective as possible.
If the contract involves early termination possibilities or any deposits and may be returned at some future date, be sure to specify the return currency and amount. I see many contracts with a deposit of say $100 in BTC, then the parties argue they want the original BTC amount, or USD back, whichever has appreciated more over time. Even Binance made this mistake (lack of clarity) multiple times in the past.
If the amount involved is large, you will have to think about treasury management or conversion rates on your end. But that's a topic for a different post. You could use Binance Convert to convert large amounts of crypto.
From #cz Earlier today, there was a hardware failure on our active Matching Engine, causing the server to instantly stop and crash. Our Matching Engine automatically failed over to the backup within 10 seconds. Other than that 10 second delay, there were zero issues. Normally, this would cause a few hours of down time and a lot of tweets. Now, it's 10 seconds. 💪
#bitcoin hashrate just hit a new record high (ATH). The cost of mining bitcoin has increased. With the Halving coming in 5 months, meaning the supply rate will further reduce by 50%. Ie, cost of producing bitcoin will further increase.
While the cost of producing something should not dictate its price, but most miners will not want to sell their newly mined bitcoins below cost.
