Weekend Watch: Dogecoin Skyrockets 13%, BNB Breaks $300

Bitcoin continues to display little-to-no price swings and stands still around $16,500.

Some altcoins, though, have significantly outperformed BTC, including Dogecoin and Binance Coin, both of which jumped to multi-week highs.

The altcoins were slightly in the red yesterday, but the landscape is quite different now, at least for some.

Binance Coin is among those. Amid the latest rumors around the world’s largest crypto exchange, BNB has jumped by 7%. As a result, it reclaimed $300 and tapped a three-week high at almost $320.

Dogecoin is another notable gainer. DOGE is up by over 12% on a daily scale and trades north of $0.09.

Ethereum had added 3% of value and has gone above $1,200 after dipping below that line yesterday. Cardano, Polygon, Polkadot, Litecoin, Shiba Inu, OKB, and Solana are also in the green from the larger-cap alts.

Overall, the cumulative market cap of all crypto assets has gained roughly $10 billion in a day and sits just over $840 billion.

  • Trump team files complaint over Harris inheriting $96 million in Biden campaign funds

    According to reports from foreign media, the Trump campaign team has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, claiming that Biden's transfer of $96 million in campaign funds to Harris is illegal. David Warrington, a lawyer for the Trump campaign team, said that this was a "shameless money-grabbing act" and would constitute the largest excessive donation and most serious violation in the history of the Federal Election Law. Shortly after Biden withdrew from the election and appointed Harris as his preferred successor, she took over Biden's campaign committee's bank account. Steve Roberts, a lawyer who represented Republican candidates, said that the argument against the transfer was a "wishful thinking" of his Republican colleagues. The Harris campaign team said that this complaint would not affect its fundraising or spending.
