(I've seen some confused people asking today - and no, you don't risk losing them)



All signs pointed to a big day for BNB ahead, bring on the green...

While the response on Twitter was positive, the BNB chart for today wasn't...

5.00%

-1.22%

Sometimes, the market just makes no sense...

I figured today's announcement of Binance 's new lending platform would at least have fans, and investors of their native token BNB acting bullish.Reason being - part of the announcement includes a pretty generous interest rate of 15% for BNB holders who participate, and allow Binance to loan their coins out for use in margin tradingAhead of the announcement Binance 's CEO 'CZ' was teasing his followers that a big announcement was coming today, so finding out was one of the first things on my list to things to do when I woke up this morning. There it was..." his tweet read.Guessing the returns offered wouldn't be higher than 12%, I read the announcement and see it's actually 15%, impressive.So my next thought was to see the bump this surely gave BNB.BNB has already has a pretty unique track record of over-performing, having launched at possibly the worst time possible - Mid 2017 when Bitcoin was trading around $2500, still crippled following the big crash. It's up 9000% since then.So all this is worth at leastgains today, right?Nope, hours later BNB is still just lingering around in the red, at time of publishingThat's really my only point today. Because when I saw 'big announcement coming' I considered loading up on BNB.When I read the announcement I was kicking myself for not doing it.It turns out, I avoided a (small) loss... this crypto stuff is wild.-------
