It arrives during a broader scramble among trading venues to fold tokenized and traditional stock trading into crypto platforms. Users fund their accounts with…

As selling pressure on Bitcoin continues, market analysts are warning that sharper declines could occur if critical support levels are lost.

Euro (EUR) trading accounts for around 1% of Binance’s spot volume, CryptoQuant analyst Maartunn told Cointelegraph. “Binance’s inflows remain globally distributed, which may limit the impact of potential MiCA-related setbacks,” Maartunn said, pointing to the exchange’s diversified user base across regions. Source: CryptoQuant The data comes as Greek regulators are reportedly preparing to reject Binance’s licensing application ahead of MiCA’s transitional deadline on July 1, a move that could complicate the exchange’s…

Aerodrome (@AerodromeFi) is the main decentralized exchange and liquidity hub on Base, Coinbase’s layer-2 network, and it settles most of the chain’s trading volume even though it is not the largest protocol on Base by total value locked.

It routes swaps, concentrates liquidity for the chain’s biggest pairs and pays out fees to the people who lock its token. That activity, more than the size of its locked capital, is…
