In brief
One of the market data pushers had issues, matching engine was fine, no data loss or corruption (other than market data). Working on it. Should be fixed soon.

Crypto exchange Binance has gone offline today following problems with its market data pushers. These are service providers that give data on the cryptocurrency market to exchanges.
As a result, Binance has suspended deposits, withdrawals, spot trading, market trading, peer-to-peer trading, and more services. However, its futures trading platform is still live, according to Binance's blog post.
Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao tweeted, "One of the market data pushers had issues, matching engine was fine, no data loss or corruption (other than market data). Working on it. Should be fixed soon."

A Binance spokesperson told Decrypt, "No need to be concerned, the team is working on it and funds are safe."

The world has never been fond of crypto. Famous economists have called it a Ponzi scheme, notable investors have called it “rat poison squared,” the Fed president described it as a “giant garbage dumpster,” and governments around the world have banned, financially strangled and b...
The exchange also struggled with performance issues over the weekend due to an increase in transaction volume—when the price of Bitcoin rose.
Binance has also recently announced a service for launching other cloud-based crypto exchanges, running on its own technology. In the short term, it'll need to make sure it can keep its own site up first.
Stablecoin platform Agora has raised $50 million in a Series A round led by Paradigm, with additional backing from Dragonfly Capital, as it seeks to capitalize on growing interest in the potentially lucrative sector. The funding will support the expansion of Agora’s all-in-one system for issuing and managing stablecoins, as well as the introduction of its new white-labeled stablecoin product, the company announced Thursday. The raise comes as the U.S. Congress is considering stablecoin legislati...
Video sharing and streaming platform Rumble, which previously launched a Bitcoin treasury, is teaming with prominent crypto payments infrastructure firm MoonPay to launch its own crypto wallet, the company announced on Thursday.

Rumble has positioned the launch as a benefit for video creators who use the conservative-friendly platform. “Rumble Wallet will chang...
Truth Social, the social media platform founded by U.S. President Donald Trump, has signaled it will launch a utility token as part of its new loyalty rewards program tied to its Patriot Package subscription plan. “In the near future, based on their level of engagement with the platforms, Patriot Package subscribers will accumulate gems on their Truth Social accounts. These will eventually be tied to a utility token on both Truth Social and Truth+,” it said. The Patriot Package, currently in pub...
