    As Bitcoin Nears All-Time High, This Top 5 Token May Have a Path to the Moon: Analysis

    The crypto market is riding high as “Uptober” delivers on its historical promise. Bitcoin hovers near a new all-time high, Ethereum pushes toward $4,500, and altcoins are catching fire. But one token stands out: BNB, formerly known as Binance Coin, is up 24% in the past month and flashing technical signals that suggest either a moonshot to $2,000 or a face-melting correction is imminent. BNB opened today at $1,090.97 and closed at $1,157.05, marking a solid 6.06% daily gain after hitting a new a...

    The Year in Crypto: Binance’s Nigerian Hostage Crisis

    In a year of dramatic crypto stories, among the most striking was that of Tigran Gambaryan, a former IRS agent and Binance executive who was detained for eight months in Nigeria on charges of money laundering. Taking in daring escapes, courtroom collapses, and Congressional resolutions, the unfolding saga was akin to a Hollywood movie—but with very real consequences for those involved. Here’s how the story unfolded. Gambaryan, a U.S. citizen, joined Binance as the crypto exchange’s VP of Global...
