Binance BNB Sheds Over $10 Billion This Month Amid Regulatory Pressure

BNB has suffered a significant setback, losing $10 billion in market value. SEC filed a lawsuit against the exchange, alleging it offered an unregistered security. BNB’s market value currently stands at $37 billion, down from a peak of $110 billion.

Aussie banks say crypto restrictions 'largest lever' in scam prevention

Banking executives in Australia have said that 40% of all scam profits “touch” crypto , meaning bank restrictions are “the single largest lever [banks] have to reduce this impact on our customers.” On June 8, Australia’s Commonwealth Bank (CBA) said it will start to decline or pause certain payments being made to crypto exchanges “to help protect customers from scam risks associated with making certain payments to cryptocurrency exchanges.”  Another bank in Australia, Westpac, is also trialing cryptocurrency restrictions and recently banned customers from transferring money to Binance in a bid to curtail scams. At Australian Blockchain Week on Monday, an executive from CBA shared why these payment restrictions were made. “One in three of the dollars that are scammed from Australians touch crypto, one in three,” said Sophie Gilder, CBA’s managing director of blockchain and digital assets.  This figure could be higher at 40% according to a portfolio manager at ANZ (another Austr

“Eminem’s down bad,” Jason Yanowitz jokes upon hearing rumors that the famed performer finally let go of his Bored Ape.

But Eminem’s Bored Ape isn’t #5099.  It’s #9055, once purchased for 123.45 ether (ETH) or approximately $450,000.  The tokenized cartoon remains comfortably in place, perhaps forgotten, but definitely not dumped by the rapper’s paper hands. The thing about blockchain is it’s pretty easy to browse through transactions and profiles to find out the truth. And the truth is, even though Eminem hasn’t capitulated, NFTs are not doing so hot at the moment.  The floor price on “blue chip” NFTs such as CryptoPunks and Bored Apes has steadily fallen while most NFTs have fared quite a bit worse, plummeting into irrelevance.
