The approval of the Ethereum (ETH) ETF marks a significant step forward for the cryptocurrency market. ETFs are financial instruments that allow investors to purchase shares representing assets, in this case Ethereum, in a regulated manner. This offers greater security, liquidity and accessibility, appealing to both individual and institutional investors. Despite the benefits, it is essential to consider the volatility and risks associated with the cryptocurrency market.
Binance is one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, offering a secure and versatile platform for trading Bitcoin, Ethereum and other digital currencies, and now offers a 5% commission for posting.
As you know, Binance has been running a #Launchpool program for a long time to reward investors who hold $BNB and stable coins on exchange.
At this point, I want to talk about the 45th #Launchpool project ALT | #AltLayer
AltLayer is a decentralized structure used for more accurate and faster scaling in #Web3 solutions.
It has grown rapidly by working compatible with established infrastructures such as EigenLayer, #Celestia #Avail OP Stack, #ZKStack, #Arbitrum Orbit, #Polygon CDK.
I will continue to use Binance #Launchpool in the coming months as it provides us with the opportunity to invest by bringing such new generation #Web3 solutions to us. I held on tightly to the BNBs in my hand.

Bitcoin Jumps, Then Dumps to $45K As Fake News About Spot Bitcoin Approval Liquidates $50M
Bitcoin [BTC] endured wild swings during Tuesday's trading session as a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) social media post about approving spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETF) turned out to be false, leaving market participants baffled.
BTC first rallied 2.5% to a fresh 19-month high of $47,900 immediately following the official SEC account's shared on X (formerly Twitter) about the bitcoin ETF approval, attracting massive attention with crypto observers prematurely celebrating the landmark decision.
Then, bitcoin sharply declined nearly 6% to as low as $45,100 when it turned out the SEC's account was compromised, and SEC Chair Gary Gensler denied the news.

The wild price action liquidated over $50 million worth of derivatives trading positions on crypto exchanges within an hour, CoinGlass data shows. Liquidations occur when an exchange forcefully closes a trader's open position using borrowed money due to loss of margin.
Recently, BTC changed hands slightly below $46,000 at press time, down some 2% over the past 24 hours.
This was the second instance during the day when a false social media post triggered massive volatility. Earlier Tuesday, dogecoin [DOGE] jumped as much as 9% on an X post about the death of the token's mascot, then declined as the news turned out to be false.
Alex Krüger, co-founder of Asgard Markets, noted that today's events suggested bitcoin might not rally as much as bulls hope when the real news about an approval arrives.
"Fake ETF news showed BTC upside is clearly capped until we see actual ETF inflows," Krüger said in an X post. "Time for ETH to take over."
