BNB TO THE TEST: BINANCE TO RESTRICT US TRADING STARTING TOMORROW



Three months ago, the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, announced that it would cut off access to the platform for US-based traders. The new rule is set to come into effect on September 12, which is tomorrow. The question is whether this will put additional pressure on the already suffering Binance Coin (BNB).



Binance Shutting the Door to US-Based Traders Tomorrow



Back on June 14, Tech Tic Technologies reported that the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, would be cutting off access to traders from the United States on September 12. US traders will still have access to their wallets and funds, but they will no longer be able to deposit or trade on Binance.com.
The main reason for the move was to guarantee full regulatory compliance. However, Binance did act quickly and created an alternative for traders who wish to continue using the platform. According to the CEO of the company, Changpeng Zhao, Binance US will boast the same speed and liquidity as Binance.com.
In related news, Binance recently teamed up with Paxos to launch a USD-pegged stablecoin called Binance USD (BUSD).



More Pressure on BNB?



Surely, the news that Binance’s main platform won’t support US-based traders doesn’t do Binance Coin (BNB) any good. Back in June, the price dropped by 7% on the news, and it went downhill from there.


As seen on the above chart, since reaching its ATH in June, the BNB price is down by more than 45%. It appears nothing that the exchange is currently doing is capable of bringing the price up.
The situation is even worse when we observe BNB trading against Bitcoin. In the same period, BNB decreased by upwards of 52% against BTC.

Bitcoin Hash Rate Hits All-Time High: Here’s How It Works And How It Affects The Price

Bitcoin intelligence, data, and analytics firm Glassnode found the Bitcoin hash rate hit a new all-time high over the weekend, ten days before the Bitcoin halving event. In other words, miners are putting more computational power into maintaining the Bitcoin network. Because miners must venture electricity and capital intensive computer processors to mine Bitcoin, the increase in hash rate is a bullish sign. It means miners are after the Bitcoin rewards they get from maintaining the network. And they’re venturing the resources to go after those rewards. Is The Bitcoin Hash Rate Correlated With The Price? In general, the Bitcoin price and the hash rate are not correlated. The price is what buyers and sellers agree to pay for one Bitcoin, and there are many factors – external and internal – affecting the price. However, there is a relation between the two. While the price goes up, it’s more profitable to mine, which likely to cause more miners to turn on their mining equ...

Tether Continues Printing Spree: Mints 480 Million USDT In First Week Of May

Tether is not slowing down in its USDT printing spree. The amount of tokens the stablecoin issuer has minted within the last week now equals what it printed in the first half of April. Tether Prints 480 Million USDT In 5 Days Records from Whale Alert suggest that the Tether Treasury has printed five batches of fresh tokens in the last five days, totaling 480 million USDT ($480.4 million), which was the same amount with what was minted within the first 14 days of the previous month. In a previous report , Tether created a whopping 1.58 billion USDT (appr. $1.586 billion) in April alone, making it one of the busiest months for the company’s Treasury in terms of minting new tokens. The company printed 220 million USDT ($220.4 million) on Thursday alone, and 100 million USDT ($99.8 million) more today. If the stablecoin’s printer continues producing more tokens at this rate, then we will likely see almost twice as much as the figure in April. At the time of writing, the USD...
