All eyes are now on HAEDAL. The Haedal Listing Carnival kicks off on BingX from April 29 to May 9, with 30,000 USDT in rewards for trading, deposits, and referrals.

Cryptocurrency continues to reshape the financial system, and exchange tokens are central to that shift. The $MBG token from MultiBank Group stands out as a strong contender backed by institutional-level credibility and a roadmap built on real expansion. It’s not just another token; it’s a bridge to the next era of finance.
President Trump’s approval rating has slipped to 39% after his first 100 days, according to an ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll the lowest for any U.S. president at this point in 80 years.
Crypto markets stayed mostly flat during Asian hours. Bitcoin (BTC) is holding firm above $93,000, and the CoinDesk 20 Index didn’t budge much either. But Monero (XMR) stole the spotlight, soaring more than 40% in 24 hours and smashing past $320 a level it hasn’t seen since 2021. Trading volumes didn’t just rise; they quadrupled.
Elsewhere, #Binance Alpha rolled out Sign (SIGN) for trading today, April 28.
As for platforms, BingX has been steadily raising the bar. Copy trading sharpened my setups, Pre-Market gave early reads, Launchpad and Launchpool unlocked fresh chances, and the Telegram Mini App kept everything tight. Each rollout wasn’t just a feature drop it made a real difference.
Now, with something new about to drop, if past moves are anything to go by, it’s worth keeping close tabs. Feels like another upgrade’s about to hit.
Coinglass data shows that in the past 24 hours alone, the market saw $140M in liquidations $82M from longs and $57M from shorts. Bitcoin ($17.48M) and Ethereum ($28.91M) led the way. Meanwhile, journalist Eleanor Terrett clarified that the three ProShares XRP ETFs recently filed are futures-based, not spot ETFs, meaning they don’t require formal SEC approval unless explicitly challenged.
On the price action front, $BMT has been on fire surging +42% in the last 24 hours to around $0.1292. With volume soaring above $93M and the Fear & Greed Index sitting at a bullish 61, momentum looks strong. BMT’s breakout from its $0.08–$0.1277 consolidation zone could signal the beginning of a larger rally.
Attention is also shifting to Sign Protocol, an omni-chain attestation platform set to list tomorrow across major exchanges like BingX. By leveraging decentralized storage, blockchain verification, and zero-knowledge proofs, Sign Protocol is positioning itself as critical infrastructure for a more verifiable Web3.
Overall, markets feel like they're heating up fast, and sectors across the board are brimming with new opportunities.
U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed optimism around current trade negotiations, hinting that multiple favorable agreements may soon be finalized. He described the talks as progressing smoothly, though specific terms remain under wraps. Markets may respond in kind if further clarity emerges. For now, the tone is one of cautious confidence on the global stage.
Gitcoin co-founder Kevin Owocki shared that the platform is shutting down its core Grants Lab division. This marks a tough chapter for Gitcoin, as team members part ways amid financial strain and a lack of sustainable revenue. Changing models for public goods funding and growing competition played a role. It's a reflection of how the Web3 landscape continues to evolve rapidly.
On the market front, Sui ($SUI ) is posting strong momentum with a 17% intraday jump, trading at $3.55. Weekly growth has nearly hit 70%, backed by a 38% spike in TVL to $1.641B clear signs of deeper DeFi traction. Meanwhile, Initia ($INIT ) is running a listing event on BingX until May 4, with a 20,000 USDT reward pool and bonuses for new futures traders. Market activity across both ecosystems reflects growing confidence from users and builders alike.
What's next for crypto regulation under the new SEC chair and how are markets reacting?
A lot is happening across the crypto landscape right now, and all eyes are in Washington. Newly appointed SEC Chairman Paul Atkins is set to speak at a cryptocurrency roundtable on April 25, 2025, his first public address focused solely on digital assets since taking office earlier this month.
Atkins stirred conversation during his inaugural speech, promising a more “rational, coherent, and principled” approach to regulating the crypto space. He also expressed his goal to make the U.S. the “best and safest place in the world” for crypto innovation. The upcoming roundtable is expected to touch on major regulatory themes including DeFi, DAOs, stablecoins, and the future of spot ETFs for Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Meanwhile, the market's moving. Initia, a new layer-one blockchain designed to connect app-specific chains through an interwoven network, is gaining traction. Built on Cosmos SDK and leveraging rollup scalability, Initia supports up to 10,000 TPS with 500ms block times. There's already a pre-market order for it on BingX, and a launchpool running on Binance anticipation is clearly building ahead of its official listing.
Zooming out, the total crypto market cap now stands at $2.95 trillion, up 6.5% in the last 24 hours. Bitcoin is trading at $92,386 at the time of writing, after fluctuating between $91.6K and $94.6K. Other coins are showing mixed movement, though standouts like $ARDR (+30%), TRUMP (+27%), and $FTT (+22%) on Binance are leading the way. Notably, Sui $SUI has overtaken Chainlink (LINK) in market cap now valued at $98.8B vs. LINK $95.4B.
Lots of shifting pieces both on-chain and off-chain and April 25 could give us a clearer signal of where things are heading next.
Ethereum shows signs of life again. After dragging below $1,800 for weeks, it jumped nearly 15% in the past 24 hours, bouncing from the April 9 low of $1,400. That’s close to a 30% recovery, and it’s happening while ETH dominance starts to inch back up from a record low of 7%.
It’s a notable move, especially when stacked against Bitcoin’s 6% gain and the broader market’s 5%. Feels like some rotation is happening.
On the altcoin side, a few names like HYPER,TURBO, and BIO have been unusually strong triple-digit and high double-digit daily moves especially on Binance.
Also noticed DeepBook’s token on SUI newly listed on BingX, and it's been up over 80% with a $626M cap. It's used for trading fees and pool creation, but more than anything, the pace of its traction is what stands out.
Not necessarily calling a trend, but things are definitely shifting from that low-liquidity drift we saw earlier this month.
South Korean crypto holdings just hit a new milestone over ₩100 trillion ($70.5B) in domestic wallets as of December 2024, according to the Bank of Korea. That number’s now grown to around $73.4B, reflecting a noticeable surge in local HODLing interest.
At the same time, the market's been sending mixed signals. While big caps are trading sideways, altcoins like $PIXEL (+34%), MAGIC (+31%), and $AUDIO have quietly outperformed.
Meanwhile, the Bitcoin-to-Nasdaq ratio is sitting at 4.96, brushing up against its all-time high of 5.08. Historically, each cycle has pushed this ratio higher a sign that Bitcoin continues to outpace tech equities. Since Trump’s win in November 2024, BTC is up 30%, while Nasdaq is down 12%.
For those that seem to ape the volatile period, the INIT airdrop is live 150 winners on BingX, up to $500 USDT each, with extra rewards for new spot traders. Just don’t forget your UID. Events come and go, but if this cycle’s telling us anything, it’s that crypto’s global footprint is only getting stronger. Also, there is an ongoing INIT Launchpool on Binance.
Babylon, a Bitcoin staking protocol, has announced a live governance proposal on Platform X concerning its Genesis chain. The proposal suggests lowering the unbinding fee for the second phase of staking from 100 sats/vbyte to 30 sats/vbyte. Voting is underway and will close on Monday, April 21, 2025, at 7:00 AM UTC.
In traditional markets, PANews reports a decline across major U.S. indices this week. The Dow Jones and Nasdaq have each fallen by over 2%, while the S&P 500 has decreased by 1.5%. This downturn is reportedly due to investor reaction to U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's comments on central bank market support. Investors are also reportedly waiting for developments in tariff negotiations before committing to long-term positions and are paying close attention to discussions in various countries for clues. Several Federal Reserve officials are scheduled to speak next week, which could impact market sentiment.
Within the cryptocurrency space, $VOXEL , the utility token of the game Voxie Tactics, has experienced a significant price increase. Fueled by its use for in-game purchases like weapons, armor, and items, and coinciding with a "double reward week," VOXEL has surged nearly 200% on Binance in the past 24 hours.
Meanwhile, on the Solana blockchain, $DARK, the native token of the Dark Eclipse project, has seen remarkable growth. Dark Eclipse, described as a Web3 project leveraging AI to dynamically enhance user toolsets, has reportedly soared by 244% on BingX. This surge is attributed to increasing confidence in its utility and the growing interest in AI-integrated projects within the Solana ecosystem.
About half of the top 100 coins are in the green today. Bittensor ($TAO) leads with an 11.6% jump to $262, followed by $FET from the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance, up 8.9% to $0.5114. On the flip side, $FARTCOIN took the hardest hit, dropping 13.3% the only coin with a double-digit loss. Mantle ($MNT) came next, slipping 5.1% to $0.6662.
Among the top 10, it’s pretty balanced four up, four down (ignoring stables). $SOL was the strongest, up 1.2% to $134, while $TRX fell the most, down 1.9% to $0.2432.
In quieter corners, $T is making small moves up 3.7% this week, trading around $0.0165. Still a long way from its ATH of $0.2269, but its traction around privacy tools and the tBTC v2 bridge is making it more relevant again with being one of the top gainers on Binance.
Somewhere in the middle of all this is Balance a next-gen AI x Web3 protocol aiming to reshape gaming and social spaces. It combines AI agents with decentralized Key Nodes, making apps more adaptive and autonomous. It just got listed on BingX, with its native token $EPT now trading live.
Plenty of narratives running at once. You can feel how the market’s trying to find its next story maybe not with hype, but with quiet conviction.
The price of Mantra ($OM ) token has seen a dramatic upswing following an announcement by founder JP Mullin regarding a significant token burn. Mullin outlined plans to burn his personal team token allocation and implement a comprehensive burn program affecting other parts of the OM supply. This news triggered a substantial price recovery, with OM jumping from a low of $0.5115 to a high of $0.8706 after the statement on X. This surge comes in the wake of a significant 87.0% price decline over the past week. Notably, Mantra had previously allocated 300 million OM tokens (16.88% of the total supply) for its team, with a phased release scheduled between April 2027 and October 2029. CoinGape has also released a Mantra OM price prediction for April 2025.
In separate news concerning the cryptocurrency market, the US Court of Appeal has granted a joint request from Ripple and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to suspend the appeal process in their ongoing $XRP lawsuit. This suspension applies to both the SEC's appeal and Ripple's cross-appeal. The primary objective behind this joint motion is to allow both parties the necessary time to finalize a potential settlement agreement in the long-standing legal battle.
Stepping into the crypto world on #Binance with those initial $XRP and BTC buys felt like dipping a toe in a vast ocean. They did alright, those first little ventures, but the rookie mistake of selling too soon is a story many of us share. Losing that first account, even with a recovery, kind of left a mark, a hesitation that the recent market jitters haven't exactly eased.
After that, OKX felt like stepping into a cockpit powerful, with all the instruments, but maybe a bit too much when you're just trying to navigate. BingX, though, has a different feel. It’s more like a comfortable car functional and gets you where you need to go without feeling like you need a pilot's license. Especially when life pulls you away from the charts. And you know, there's been a quiet buzz around some potential upgrades or new features they might be rolling out soon.
This journey, with all the signal chasing and platform hopping, has definitely hammered home how quickly things can turn in crypto. That Mantra ($OM ) situation this week – hundreds of millions gone in a blink, a multi-billion-dollar wipeout – it's a stark reminder of the fragility. One piece of news, one market shift, and the whole picture changes.
Now, there’s that familiar pull towards XRP again. That chatter about SWIFT and Ripple… if there’s real substance there, it could be a game-changer on a global scale. Maybe this time, it’s not just another wave of hype to ride and potentially get washed out by. It feels like the underlying fundamentals could actually be shifting. It makes you wonder what other established platforms, like the one I mentioned earlier, might be preparing to unveil in this ever-evolving space.
Monad's testnet activity continues to surge, reaching over 167 million unique addresses. In just the past 24 hours, more than 5.6 million new addresses were added and close to 17 million transactions processed signaling growing momentum and community engagement around the protocol’s scalability focus.
Meanwhile, Upbit recorded a 24-hour trading volume of $2.22 billion, according to CoinGecko. XRP/KRW dominated Korean markets, accounting for over 20% of the volume. AERGO, $ORCA , BTC, and COW also ranked among the most actively traded pairs, highlighting a diverse trading appetite from Korean retail and institutional participants.
However, not all movements have been positive. While most of the crypto market rebounded, Mantra ($OM ) suffered a near-90% crash, wiping out over $400 million in value. A group of 19 wallets who moved $91M worth of OM just days prior is now facing staggering unrealized losses. The broader volatility, compounded by geopolitical tensions between the US and China, has left OM holders navigating uncertain waters.
Michael Saylor's recent activity on X, sharing MicroStrategy's Bitcoin portfolio, often generates interest and speculation within the market, sometimes even preceding noticeable buying activity. His latest post, referencing "no tariffs on Orange Dots," amidst ongoing discussions of trade tensions, adds an interesting layer to market sentiment.
Reflecting on the broader crypto landscape, the journey for various platforms has been quite distinct. While established giants like Binance have a longer history, reaching 8-9 years in operation, it's also interesting to see the trajectory of younger exchanges like BingXSuper7. Having now marked seven years in the industry, their evolution has been notable. The advancements they've implemented, particularly in areas like security protocols and the expansion of educational resources for users, demonstrate a commitment to growth and user empowerment. It creates a sense of anticipation for their future direction and potential contributions to the crypto space.
On the market front, the rapid price movement of tokens like $CREAM , experiencing a significant surge as highlighted recently, serves as a reminder of the inherent volatility and potential for quick gains (and losses) in crypto. Observing such breakouts, supported by volume and technical indicators, can be captivating, but as always, caution remains paramount. Identifying potential resistance levels and safer entry points after such explosive moves is crucial for risk management.
The interplay between macro narratives, institutional activity, exchange development, and individual asset movements continues to shape the crypto market's dynamic nature. It's a space that demands constant observation and a balanced perspective.
Richard Teng, the CEO of Binance, has recently spoken about the current market trends, emphasizing his focus on five key elements for success, though these were not explicitly detailed in the provided text. His comments come at a time when the broader cryptocurrency market is experiencing a consolidation phase following a bullish shift.
Bitcoin has shown a positive trend, trading around $84,727 (as of recent data) with a 1.81% increase in the last 24 hours, finding support around the $84,000 mark after previous fluctuations. This recovery in Bitcoin's price from a weekly low of $74,436.67 has contributed to the overall recovery of the cryptocurrency market. Several altcoins, including Ethereum (ETH), Solana ($SOL ), and $XRP , have also seen gains of 3.44%, 6.78%, and 5.4%, respectively.
WalletConnect (WCT) is a project making significant headway, with its token set to launch on Optimism's OP Mainnet, aiming to enhance user experience with Ethereum's security and Optimism's speed. The $WCT token will be listed on Binance on April 15th.
Interestingly, a $WCT airdrop is currently being hosted on BingX, offering 150 participants the chance to win between $5 and $500 in $WCT. This event runs until April 18th and could be worth exploring for users already active on the platform. This airdrop on the exchange is separate from the Binance Launchpool event for WCT, where users can earn WCT by staking BNB, FDUSD, or USDC. The total supply of WCT is 1 billion, with an initial circulating supply of 186.2 million tokens upon its Binance listing. WCT serves as the native token for the WalletConnect Network, used for staking, fees, and governance. #SECGuidance
The legal standoff between Ripple and the U.S. SEC appears to be nearing its end, with both parties agreeing to pause their appeals as they work toward a potential settlement. The decision, confirmed in an April 10 court filing, places the proceedings in abeyance, signaling an effort to conserve resources while a resolution is negotiated. This follows Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse's March 19 statement that the case was effectively over. The timing has also prompted speculation that a formal settlement could follow once Paul Atkins assumes his role as SEC Chair, pending commission approval.
Participation events continue to feature across the broader crypto market. BingX, for example, is hosting a limited-time draw event called “Happy Friday,” running from April 11 to April 18 (UTC+8). The event offers guaranteed token rewards, with participants completing tasks such as deposits, trades, or referrals to earn entries. While modest, such events reflect platforms’ ongoing strategies to maintain user activity in a market still adjusting to regulatory and macro shifts.
Meanwhile, Curve founder Michael Egorov has extended the lock-up period for his veCRV holdings to four years, sharing transaction records to confirm the move. This came shortly after $CRV saw a brief price rise, crossing 0.6 USDT, following the IRS's decision to roll back certain DeFi broker rules seen by some as a tentative win for the DeFi sector.
The Midnight airdrop has been quietly building anticipation, and now there's a major update from Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson. Speaking at Paris Blockchain Week 2025, Hoskinson revealed that the airdrop will reach 37 million users across various blockchain networks a scale that positions it among the largest airdrops of the year.
Midnight Network is a privacy-centric blockchain developed by the same team behind Cardano. What sets it apart is its focus on secure data handling whether personal, sensitive, or commercial. While still maintaining regulatory compliance. That’s a hard balance to strike, and it makes the project more than just another privacy chain.
Alongside this, Midnight is launching its native token through what could become one of 2025’s most notable crypto airdrops, marking a significant moment not just for Cardano’s ecosystem, but for privacy in Web3 as a whole.
Meanwhile, the broader crypto market continues to show signs of life. The global market cap has climbed to $2.59 trillion, up 5.72% in the last 24 hours . Price action is mixed, but a few tokens have broken out $BABY (+185%), and $SPELL (+24%) are leading the charge among market gainers on Binance.
Midnight’s timing feels deliberate. With interest returning to both infrastructure and data privacy, the launch could be tapping into a narrative that’s just starting to unfold.
$BABY just hit the big leagues with it officially listed on Binance after Babylon’s massive 600M token airdrop. The project's shaking up blockchain security by letting BTC holders stake their Bitcoin directly no middlemen, no fluff. Just pure Layer-1 security meets next-gen staking.
At the same time, $GAS isn’t slowing down. After slicing through BOS and CHOCH levels like butter, it’s up 32% and eyeing that $3.000 mark. Momentum’s red-hot, and the volume says it’s just getting started.
Meanwhile, BingX is stirring the pot with a $BABY prediction contest. Drop your forecast closest calls bag rewards. Easy play if you're watching the charts.
And Bitcoin? Still charging upward. With US inflation cooling to 2.4% and core CPI easing, the Fed’s next move might be a rate cut. Markets are loving it, and BTC’s bullish setup is getting harder to ignore. The perfect storm’s brewing blockchain’s heating up from all angles.
Shiba Inu is riding the current crypto market rally, gaining 10% on April 10 and outperforming other meme coins like Dogecoin, Pepe, and Bonk. This renewed momentum comes as fears of a broader recession ease. Attention now turns to whether SHIB can eventually flip Dogecoin in market cap, especially with its layer-2 network, Shibarium, approaching a 200M milestone. Despite a low TVL, Shibarium recently processed over 1 billion transactions signaling ongoing development.
Meanwhile, XRP has also surged nearly 10%, fueled by broader market recovery and optimism around the recent ETF success in the U.S. Analyst EGRAG CRYPTO flagged a rare bullish crossover on the XRP/BTC chart between the 55-week EMA and the 155-week MA—suggesting a potential breakout. If XRP/BTC revisits the 55 EMA at 0.00001850 and Bitcoin climbs to $80,000, XRP could reach $1.48. And if history repeats with a 958% move on the pair, XRP might aim even higher.
Ripple holding addresses have hit a record high, surpassing 6.26 million, according to on-chain data from Ali Martinez. Despite the recent price dip, investors continue accumulating $XRP suggesting strong conviction, especially following the XRP ETF (XXRP) launch in the US, which recorded $5 million in volume. Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas called it “very respectable,” placing it in the top 5% of new ETF launches and even outperforming Solana’s counterpart. Meanwhile, market sentiment remains mixed, with prominent analyst Dave the Wave still projecting Bitcoin to reach $200k by year-end.
In a broader context of shifting reserve strategies, Sweden is now exploring the possibility of including Bitcoin $BTC in its foreign currency holdings. Member of Parliament Rickard Nordin submitted a formal request to Finance Minister Elisabeth Svantesson, citing global moves like El Salvador's Bitcoin adoption as examples of evolving financial strategies. This reflects the growing international interest in Bitcoin as a reserve asset and its potential to reshape monetary frameworks.
On the Solana side, meme tokens are charting a different course. Retard Finder Coin ($RFC), launched on pump.fun, adopts a zero-tax, fixed supply, and no-airdrop model, aligning with fair launch values and community-first principles. While still early, RFC has caught attention through its inclusion in BingX’s Innovation Zone where tokens often show strong performance and an ongoing event that offers 150 winners up to $500 in RFC by completing listed tasks. In a market that continues to test investor conviction, both utility-based projects and culture-driven tokens are carving out their lanes.
Ripple has announced its acquisition of Hidden Road for $1.25 billion, positioning itself as the first crypto firm to own and operate a global, multi-asset prime broker. This move strengthens Ripple's push into institutional finance, aiming to seamlessly bridge traditional and decentralized financial systems at scale.
Binance has shared the results of its inaugural community vote regarding token delisting, highlighting its commitment to greater transparency and user participation in listing decisions. It has gained serious attention from investors since its future listing on Baby. With exchanges like BingX also having an Xpool event on it where stake USDT to earn free BABY points and redeem BABY tokens.
Among the top gainers in the CoinDesk 20 Index, Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR) surged by 8.6%, while Aptos (APT) climbed 5.6%, contributing positively to the index's overall momentum. In contrast, Filecoin (FIL) remained flat, and Aave (AAVE) saw a modest increase of 1.4%. The CoinDesk 20 Index continues to be a critical benchmark for tracking leading digital asset performance.
