What Caused the Dip In Prices Today? – Tron News Today
The dip in crypto prices was caused by the news of Binance hack late yesterday. CCN reported that Binance, the foremost crypto exchange had been hacked. This was possible after the hackers managed to collect some API keys as well as two-factor authentication codes. The information gave them access to the user accounts to siphon the funds. The hackers were also reported to have used different techniques such as viruses, phishing and other attacks to finish the job.
Binance discovered that 7,000 BTC was carted away in the episode which amounts to $40 million. The CEO of Binance Chanpeng Zhao, took to Twitter to inform users of the incident and assured them that no user funds will be lost.
Binance Coin (BNB) was One Of The Hardest Hit
When the news of the hack hit the market, the first to feel it was Binance Coin. Traders reacted to the event by dumping the Coin which is the exchange’s native token. The price of BNB lost up to 9% yesterday and recorded a low of $19.89, from CoinMarketCap data.
The price of BNB is pegged at $20.30 and has seen a decline of 8.51 percent in the last 24 hours. Despite this short-term setback, BNB still remains one of the best performing coins since the year started. The price of BNB spiked by about 227% since last year and it even reached a peak of $25 last month during the bull market. Since January, its value has quadrupled.
