Another user was unfortunately scammed on Binance's P2P platform, suffering a loss of $840. Here's how the events unfolded: the user logged into the app and accessed the P2P Express section to sell some of their bitcoins. The system automatically found a buyer. Confident in the reliability of Binance, the user accepted the transaction.
The buyer then requested that the cryptocurrency be released, promising to transfer the funds into fiat currency within five minutes. However, once the cryptocurrency was sent, the buyer ceased all communication and the funds disappeared from the user's P2P wallet. Only after this incident was the user able to view the buyer's profile, where he discovered several negative reviews and similar scam alerts. This was the user's first time using Binance P2P and the experience caused them significant financial problems.
To protect yourself against P2P scams: 1. 🔺 Favor reputable platforms: Stick to well-known P2P trading platforms like Binance. 2. 🔺 Verify payments: Always make sure that payments have arrived in your account before finalizing a transaction. 3. 🔺 Secure communication: Use the platform's secure messaging system and do not share your personal information prematurely. 4. 🔺 Get informed: Be aware of the latest scams and tactics used by fraudsters on P2P trading platforms.
Stay vigilant and protect yourself from these scams. Don't forget to share this information to help others stay safe!
🚨 FBI warns Americans against using unregistered crypto services.
According to a statement from the FBI, Americans should not use cryptocurrency services from businesses that are not registered as money services businesses (MSBs) under federal law.
The FBI also offered an official FinCEN tool allowing users to search whether a company is registered as an MSB.
“A few simple steps can prevent the unintentional use of non-compliant services. For example, avoid crypto services that do not collect KYC information from its customers when necessary.” $BTC $BNB #Binance #Bitcoin $USDC #SEC

After the halving, it is possible that a violent correction could occur in the market and that BTC falls to $58,000. But the majority of altcoins will lose up to -50% and more; you will then have to have a mind of steel to endure this. 🥱🙃
$🚨 - HONG KONG APPROVES REQUEST TO CREATE A SPOT BITCOIN & ETHEREUM ETF 🇭🇰
Bitcoin ETF: Hong Kong approval could attract billions of dollars!
Hong Kong, the global financial hub, is preparing to greenlight the first Bitcoin ETFs. According to experts, this decision could lead to a wave of massive investments from Chinese investors. Let's explore the reasons for this craze and the implications for the crypto market.
The appeal of Bitcoin ETFs for Chinese investors
First of all, the approval of Bitcoin ETFs in Hong Kong is of great importance for Chinese investors. Indeed, the Southbound Stock Connect program allows Chinese investors to access stocks listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. It offers a privileged investment channel.
Thus, Bitcoin ETFs could attract up to HK$200 billion from Chinese investors, according to Matrixport estimates. This opportunity represents a real springboard for Chinese investors wishing to diversify their portfolio into alternative assets. The craze for gold on the Shanghai Stock Exchange is a perfect testimony.$BTC $ETH $BNB #Binance #SEC #BTC #ETH
$BTC #Binance Why did Bitcoin and Altcoins Crash ?
The last 24 hours were brutal for the crypto market as BTC crashed below $60k while alts crashed 30%–50%.
The primary reason behind this crash was the Iran drone attack on Israel.
During a war, commodities like oil and gold rise in value, which results in high inflation.
High inflation means no rate cuts, which is bearish for stocks and crypto.
This is why crypto sold off heavily yesterday, as people anticipated that this war could lead to high inflation, which would result in no rate cuts.
Once BTC and alts started crashing, those who had high leverage positions open started getting liquidated, which resulted in more forced selling.
Something similar happened during Covid in March 2020, Russia Ukraine war when the market panic sold and then rebounded within a month
As per some media sites, Iran already made their allies aware in advance
This means that the cartel were already ready for this dump
They just waited till the weekend as there was low volume and then crashed the market
After market started panic selling, they bought the dip as usual which resulted in a quick bounce
The lesson here is to avoid leveraged trades and keep your portfolio in spot. This is the best way to maximize your gains while keeping your risks to a minimum.
Right now, BTC is trading above $63k with a strong support at $60k level
If $60k level don't hold, there is a strong support level at $56k - $58k where most of the new whales (ETF buyers) have bought their BTC
Keep in mind that after every black swan event, the crypto market has witnessed parabolic runs and the same will happen this time too

#Bitcoin $BTC 🚨This mistake made him lose 1 Million dollars in a few hours🤯, here is the story of an investor👇
Tonight at 1 a.m., @cryptonerd75 goes to Binance to check a position he had
This position represented 1.15M dollars, or his entire capital💸
All placed on a trade with a leverage of x3, on a shitcoin, called PEPE
The use of levers is strongly discouraged for the most novice❌
Because the movements are multiplied📉📉
In this case, with a leverage x3, it was enough for the PEPE to lose 33.33% for its position to be liquidated
And let him lose EVERYTHING!😳
And this is what unfortunately happened last night, PEPE followed Bitcoin and lost more than 30% in a few hours 📉
➡️As you can imagine, his position was liquidated and his million dollars vanished!💸
💎What mistakes did he make? 🔸 Poor management of capital: 👉Invest all of your capital without keeping anything to live on❌
🔸 Poor risk management 👉Open a position with more than 5% of your capital❌ 👉Having such great confidence in a shitcoin❌ 🔸 Poor diversification 👉Focus on a single asset❌ 🔸 Use of leverage, without prior knowledge
Today he finds himself with $0 in his pocket, nothing left to live on
👉But above all he finds himself at the bottom of the abyss I quote: “I want to kill myself”
He had been on the Crypto market since 2017, showing that seniority does not necessarily mean expertise❌
Today I wish him to get through it and get back up stronger. But above all to learn from these mistakes
And start learning more 📈
Good luck to him!

In a bold move that merges the efficiency of traditional finance with the innovation of blockchain technology, PayPal is breaking new ground in cross-border money transfers. Its US users can now use the stablecoin PayPal USD (PYUSD), its dollar-backed crypto, to fund international transfers without incurring transaction fees through the Xoom service.
Paypal revolutionizes cross-border transfers with its crypto PayPal introduces transfers via its crypto PayPal today announced a major innovation which should allow its users in the United States, with the exception of those residing in Hawaii, to use its crypto, PYUSD, to finance their international transfers. This new feature is made possible by PayPal's Xoom service, which now offers transfers without transaction fees to more than 160 countries.

$BTC ⚖️ On February 5, a trial will begin that could play a big role in the future of #Bitcoin
The UK High Court will have to judge whether Craig Wright is the creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto.
The case is brought by the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA), a nonprofit consortium of crypto and technology companies, in response to a series of lawsuits filed by Wright against Bitcoin developers.
The verdict will have direct implications in that Wright could prevent developers from working on Bitcoin if he is named as its creator.
“The stakes are very high,” says a representative of the Bitcoin Legal Defense Fund.
If a UK court decides that Wright is Nakamoto, then it is likely that he will be considered as such by courts around the world.
