Several partners in the ecosystem, such as PancakeSwap CAKE $3.31 , Binance Wallet, Trust Wallet, and Four Meme, will help ensure the tokens reach those eligible.

BNB Chain, which started as a project by Binance $17.66B but is currently run by a decentralized network of contributors, is the backbone of the BNB token and supports a range of apps, including those in decentralized finance (DeFi), blockchain-based games, and digital assets.

On October 12, Binance also addressed community concerns through a public statement about the recent market instability. The platform confirmed that a full system check showed its core futures services were stable and continued to work during the sell-off.

It explained that the sudden fall in prices for some tokens was mostly due to older limit orders being triggered during a time when there was very little trading activity.

On October 8, a new $1 billion fund was announced by Zhao's investment firm, YZi Labs. What is the aim of the funding? Read the full story.
