10 Alternatives to CoinMarketCap
CoinMarketCap may be the most well-known analytical resource for crypto assets. However, with Binance's acquisition of the platform, many have noticed discrepancies in its data compared to other sources. Therefore, it's crucial to explore alternative options to stay informed and up-to-date. 
Pump and Dump of HT Token: What's Happening with Huobi?
It all started with FTX's bankruptcy, then came regulatory crackdowns on the largest CEX exchange Binance, information leaks from the SEC claiming that cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin are "securities", and now we're seeing troubling signals from another major exchange, Huobi. What's going on over there? CZ Faces Unverified Interpol Red Notice Rumor
An unverified rumor recently emerged, claiming that an Interpol Red Notice had been issued for Binance founder and CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao. The source of the rumor was an encrypted message posted by Twitter user Cobie, who is well-followed within the crypto community. 
Over the last day, Voyager Digital transferred assets worth approximately $9.6 million to Coinbase, Binance US, and Kraken, including 4.9 million VGX, 221,000 LINK, 3,050 ETH, and 270 billion SHIB.
Another interesting fact: one of the addresses has 6.8 trillion SHIB, putting it in 18th place among the largest owners of the meme coins after the transfer.
We've got a riddle for you: you're broke, you need money, the enemy is nearby, so you transfer 270 billion coins to the exchange. Is it for a far-off journey or an inheritance? 
Aptos development team wallet transferred over 1 million APT (~$20 million) from the main wallet to the Binance exchange. More than 1/3 of the total APT supply ($985 million) remains in the wallet.
If these coins will hit the market, the APT price may undergo a significant correction.
Although APT attracted a lot of attention with a sharp price increase of more than 450% in a month, one should always keep in mind the project is too centralized: 97% of the total supply is held by only 20 wallets. Thus, the price can be easily manipulated. US Probes Binance for Alleged Russian Sanctions Evasion
The Justice Department is investigating whether Binance Holdings Ltd., the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, was used illegally by Russians to evade US sanctions related to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, according to sources familiar with the matter. 
PancakeSwap V3: A Delicious Update for Traders
PancakeSwap, the popular decentralized exchange (DEX), has announced the launch of its highly-anticipated third version on both the Binance Smart Chain and Ethereum blockchains. This exciting news brings a host of new features, including cutting-edge tools, low transaction fees, and increased profitability for liquidity providers. Six Steps to the Gallows: Binance Faces Potential Consequences
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) fines and restrictions have become commonplace for cryptocurrency companies. It is important to note, however, that Binance's situation differs from the general trend. A different regulatory body, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), is suing the company. 
Markus Thielen, Head of Research at Matrixport, believes that the SEC is not targeting stablecoins. The charge against Paxos is indirect. The regulators are planning an attack on Binance, which stored customer funds in the same wallet with its collateral for some in-house tokens.
The regulations require that exchanges' corporate assets must be recorded in separate accounts and cannot form part of the proof-of-reserves calculations.
That's simple: Binance cannot confirm its BUSD reserves. Paxos Trust Company, which is the only issuer of the exchange's stablecoin, serves as a witness in this case, not a defendant.
Has CZ fallen into curly-haired Sam’s trap by mixing up customers' wallets with his own? We find it hard to believe. Hopefully, his accounting skills are way better. 
Conor Grogan, Head of Product Business Operations at Coinbase, called attention to dubious transactions carried out by anonymous wallets that were purchasing tokens minutes before Binance listing announcements and selling them during the pump.
The purchase of Rar, ERN, TORN, and RAMP tokens are examples of such transactions. A $100,000 to $900,000 worth of transactions were made. The "trader" earned several million dollars over the course of several transactions.
Grogan speculated that it could be either a rogue employee or a trader who might have access to the losing API.
