A considerable number of cryptocurrencies did register losses today.

“In other news, Binance is seeing increasing rumours after losing multiple fiat gateways, first in the US and then supposedly in the EU. However, coincidentally with India’s landing of Chandrayaan 3 on the moon, Binance has tied up with ‘MoonPay’ in the United States to help people buy USDT seamlessly,” Hudda noted.
