Best Cryptocurrencies to Buy Today

1. BNB (BNB)

The native cryptocurrency of the BNB Chain is currently trading at around $581.94, with a 1.31% increase in the past day. Its trading volume has increased by 34.35% to $2.42 billion. The market cap stands at $82.91 billion. Despite the bullish outlook of the coin, the price has tanked 2.24% in the past week.

The surge in price and trading volume of the coin came after the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported that President Donald Trump’s family representatives held talks to buy a stake in Binance’s U.S. arm. The deal could involve direct ownership or go through World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a Trump-backed DeFi project. If the rumors come to pass, such a move will drive the price of the native token higher.

At the same time, Binance’s founder, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), reportedly sought a pardon from Trump. However, CZ denied these claims and dismissed the report as politically motivated. He also denied any business talks between Binance.US and Trump’s family.

4. Sorry to disappoint. The WSJ article got the facts wrong.

More than 20 people have told me they were asked by the WSJ (and another media), "Can you confirm that CZ made some deal for a pardon?"

They probably asked hundreds of people to have 20 people reach out to me. In… https://t.co/ELyDPmKD3G

It allows institutions to use tokenized money market funds as collateral for stablecoin loans in GHO and USDC.
