Binance's Trading Halt and Outage Sends Bitcoin on a Wild Ride
TL;DR
Bitcoin traded around $28,000 as concerns about financial stability fueled bets that major central banks will need to stop increasing rates amid rising recession anxiety. Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, halted all spot trading on its platform due to a technical glitch, but its derivatives platform was unaffected. Other tokens were lower, with Ether down 2.4% and altcoins Cardano and Solana both down around 2.5%.
