Binance NFT, the nonfungible token  arm of crypto exchange Binance, has announced that the Polygon network has been included in its supported blockchains within the marketplace. 

According to the announcement, the move further expands the NFT ecosystem within the Binance community. With the new integration, users of the Binance NFT marketplace can trade NFTs on various blockchains like Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain and Polygon using their Binance accounts. 

Despite the announcement, Binance is still keeping a strict approach to its NFT listings. Within the announcement, the NFT marketplace highlighted that not all NFT collections would be available at the moment.

The NFT platform tightened its rules on NFT listings, saying it would delist NFTs with daily trading volume lower than $1,000. In addition, the exchange also limited the number of NFTs that artists can mint per day. Apart from this, Binance also said it would review NFT listings periodically and recommend those that do not meet its standards for delisting. Meanwhile, with artificial intelligence finding its way into the Web3 space, Binance is also exploring AI. Binance CEO announced that its AI-powered NFT generator called Bicasso has launched and minted 10,000 NFTs in just 2.5 hours

Bitcoin price risks drop to $71K as Trump tariffs hurt US business outlook

Published

on

Bitcoin is setting its sights on the $71,000 mark as market conditions shift in response to geopolitical and economic developments, including a new tariff agreement and weakening U.S. business sentiment.

Recent market activity suggests that Bitcoin is benefiting from concerns over traditional economic indicators, with investors turning to digital assets as a hedge against economic uncertainty. A rare slump in U.S. business outlook has fueled speculation that risk assets, including Bitcoin, could see increased inflows.

Additionally, ongoing global trade negotiations and tariff adjustments have contributed to market volatility, prompting investors to seek alternative stores of value. Analysts suggest that if macroeconomic pressures persist, Bitcoin could continue its upward trajectory, potentially testing the $71,000 resistance level.

Despite short-term fluctuations, Bitcoin remains a focal point for investors navigating inflation concerns, regulatory shifts, and global economic trends. The coming weeks will be critical in determining whether Bitcoin can sustain its momentum and break through key price barriers.

Hackers are selling counterfeit phones with crypto-stealing malware

Published

Security researchers have uncovered a wave of counterfeit Android devices preloaded with malware designed to steal cryptocurrency, posing a significant threat to users worldwide. The infected devices, which mimic popular smartphone brands, contain malicious software capable of hijacking digital wallets and siphoning funds.

The malware, embedded at the firmware level, allows attackers to gain remote access, intercept sensitive data, and execute unauthorized transactions. Because the malicious code is deeply integrated into the device’s operating system, it is difficult to detect and remove, making it a persistent threat.

Cybersecurity experts warn that unsuspecting buyers may unknowingly expose their crypto holdings to risk by purchasing these compromised devices from unverified sellers. Users are urged to exercise caution by only purchasing smartphones from trusted retailers and manufacturers.

The discovery highlights the growing sophistication of cybercriminals targeting the cryptocurrency sector. As mobile-based crypto transactions become more common, security measures such as hardware wallet usage and multi-factor authentication are increasingly essential to safeguard digital assets from emerging threats.
