Binance.US has reduced spot trading fees to 0% for makers and 0.02% for takers across all trading pairs, extending near-zero pricing to all users without volume thresholds or subscription requirements. The new pricing replaces the platform’s tiered fee structure and applies to all accounts, with the company saying the move could reduce trading costs by as much as 98% compared with competitors such as Coinbase.

Bitcoin slid toward $68,000 on Tuesday, with traditional markets closed in Hong Kong for a long weekend, as repeated failures near $70,000 left the bitcoin market vulnerable to a break lower. The drop came after another failed push above $70,000, with prices slipping quickly once they approached the lower end of the $65,000 to $73,000 range that has defined trading since late March. Intraday losses accelerated near that boundary, highlighting how little support exists when momentum turns. That calm is not being driven by strong demand. Recent Glassnode data shows softer trading volumes and subdued onchain activity even as prices…

Cardano’s Charles Hoskinson has a message for the $XRP community celebrating the Clarity Act as a victory for the industry: you are wrong, and the bill you are cheering for would have classified your token as a security if Ripple were founded today. Speaking in an interview, Hoskinson said the Clarity Act in its current form, he argued, is not the regulatory clarity the industry needs. It is a piece of legislation that protects established incumbents while quietly making it impossible for the next generation of crypto projects to exist in America. The Security Trap Under the mature blockchain standard…

Bitcoin network activity “just snapped higher after months of decline,” reported CryptoQuant on Monday. The blockchain analytics provider’s index tracks addresses, transactions, UTXOs, and blockspace demand. It noted that the daily Bitcoin transaction count is now around 615,000, which is the highest since November 2024. It added that this shift is happening while $BTC fees remain relatively low, “so part of this activity spike may be operational, not just organic demand.” Low-fee environments make it cheaper for exchanges, custodians, and large holders to consolidate UTXOs, rebalance wallets, and reshuffle funds on-chain, stated CryptoQuant. Bitcoin network activity just snapped higher after…
