Binance’s Bitcoin [$BTC] holdings have climbed above 693,000 $BTC—the highest level in almost two years. In fact, Binance’s holdings have risen by around 77,000 $BTC since the end of April. The most simple reason behind this surge could be that investors transferred Bitcoin to Binance [$BNB] during periods of strong price appreciation. This mainly includes the May rally and the more recent August rally. For those confused, when investors expect to sell, they often move $BTC from personal or cold wallets to exchanges to make large trades’ execution easier.

Under its new supervisory program, the ESMA and national regulators across the European Union will examine how regulated firms use artificial intelligence and tokenized products in their core activities, rather…
