ETH's record high and aggressive $BMNR buying drove this week's bull market. Exchange tokens ($BNB, OKX) benefited, but their future performance depends on fundamentals. Expect ongoing momentum in the ETH ecosystem.

Here is a pragmatic take / DEX-maxi rant:
(DEX=Decentralized EXchange, CEX =Centralized EXchange)
Check exchange rankings in terms of their standards and size like trading volume and such and stick to the big guys. Also check for acquired licenses of those CEXes in regions like NA or Europe.
I have accounts on probably 6 CEXes (not crypto.com tho) and never had any issues with any of them for 5+ years. You exchange a portion of your gains for convenience. They're more user friendly and often offer stuff like flexible staking without the locking period which is kinda nice if you wanna react fast to market events.
You should have proper security tho. Like at least 2FA, a seperate mail account with 2FA and maybe an own hardware device for accessing the platform to avoid the risk of your account being compromised in some way. Im terms of security issues there is probably a bigger likelihood that your metamask chrome extension gets hacked than the exchange you're storing funds on.
Also beware of scams. Common now are SMS scams where they claim account activities being made from a ln unknown device. Ignore them and rather check your email as most CEXes have features where new device logins are forwarded through email to the user.
A cold hardware wallet is the safest option if you're keeping it safe and don't lose access to it. But such a wallet is overkill if you dont want to hold it for a long time.
-------------------
Rant:
DEX-maxis will always shit on CEX. Move on, its not 2016 anymore.
Addressing some points made here by maxis:
- CEXes listing shitcoins is not the same as shilling them. Listings are an income resource for CEXes paid by the team behind the coin. Nothing wrong with doing business. Its not like they force you to buy them. They advertise it for the people who want to gamble with them. If they wouldn't list them they would still be traded on raydium and whatnot. You shouldn't buy them anyway as they're mostly overpriced and dive shortly after listings.
- printing coins out of thin air is literally every ICO/TGE (inb4 PoW energy arguments). Each exchange usually has its own coin: GT, OKT (giga pump in the last weeks btw), BNB, KC and whatnot that are used to bind liquidity on the exchange because they also make money with loans and shit. They have an interest in keeping the value of their token high to get loans for themselves. If their token dies they can't do business so they wont dump it on people.
Some DEX maxis maybe should take a look at the pragmatic reality of the crypto industry instead of dwelling in their 2016 decentralized-anonymous-global-new-money dream world. Won't happen.
Hope that helps, OP

Binance Faces Allegations of Market Games as Solana Nears BNB

This is probably a dumb question but why does it go BTC --> Eth --> Solana?
I get the BTC --> Eth but why Solana over BNB or XRP? I figured after Eth it basically goes to all large cap cryptos

The Solfart token PreSale has sold over 1.3 billion tokens. The BeInCrypto AMA with the project's co-founders was received well by investors (link below). Mark Zuckerfart clarified data on the token he pushed to a 300x before. If you’re not involved yet, get in now. Prices go up each presale round.

BNB has reached several athletes since this month and the past month.

All of the top 5 cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH, XRP, BNB & SOL) have seen a new ATH in 2025.

I’ve got 5k available for investing right now…would you stick it all in these sort of stocks or in crypto? BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, XRP

The catapult corgi coin just launched its 7th liquidity pool $CCC/BNB

Thanks for the reply, I also want to store in a wallet. But not sure whether I should on BNB or TRX

BNB, TRX, and SOL have all been phenomenal this cycle, and likely will continue to do so if the market continues up.
You might need to reassess how you’ve come to these conclusions.

Port consists mainly of BTC, ETH, SOL, SUI, SEI, DOGE, BONK, PEPE, ENA and BNB. Been in the space for 4 years now. This is actually my first legit bull cycle and I plan to rotate profits from crypto to add in etfs.
Malaki rin talaga influence ng US markets sa crypto so I tend to read about it more than the status of PH market.

Polygon led blockchain adoption from October 2024 to early August 2025, with BNB Chain and Base closely competing for second. Weekly transacting addresses consistently exceeded 4,000 on the network, reflecting steady user engagement.

BTC, XRP & BNB as well.

I have added sufficient amount of BNB in wallet. Yesterday and today tried sending to Binance. I selected the address as follows available from Binance wallet,
1. Select coin as USDT and
2. Network as BNB Smart Chain (BEP 20).
After that i copied and pasted the Deposit Address in Coinbase wallet.
But still now i have not received the crypto in Binance account.
When it tried sending BNB from coinbase, i have received in a few seconds.
Please help me in resolving the issue and please recover my funds to withdraw.

BNB (binance coin). Not that I have anything against it, it’s just that my budget is tight and BNB is quite expensive. I would rather add that money to get more BTC, ETH, SOL, or AAVE.
Also Dogecoin. Its time will be over soon.
I couldn’t get into HBar or TRON either (yet?)

I also don't see much upside with BNB, and it feels way too tied to Binance. If anything happens to the exchange, the coin is going down with it.

Nah. I first got into crypto with doge and then forgot about it for about a decade. Then it turned out my doge was worth a lot and I sold that stupid shit and thought I should actually learn a bit about the crypto market. After researching, I decided Solana was my ride or die so I put about 80% of my crypto in it and spread the rest out between BTC, BNB and ETH, with a sliver leftover for random crap.

Looking at the BTC dominance chart, you'd think it would be here by now. Last time Bitcoin dominance was at these levels Vechain was already at 9 cents.
Liquidity cycle generally goes BTC ---> Etherium --> Large Caps --> All othe caps.
Bitcoin had most of its run, Etherium making moves and then you have things BNB going for runs.
Then you also have things like LTC at their Decemeber, 2024 highs while things like VET are snail crawling off their lows. Huge spread in the market.
My speculative guess is that we see things wrapped up by EOY.
