Honorable mention

Coinbase and Binance amid Crypto Surge

Bitcoin’s price jump April 29 brought a few interesting things about certain exchanges to light. Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange at the moment, has hit $11 billion in trading volume just for the past 24 hours, therefore reaching an all-time high. The last time the exchange even came near $11 billion was back in early 2018.

Unlike Binance’s thriving volume, Coinbase has experienced several major outages that stopped trading. Their status page, website, mobile app, as well as API website, experienced the outages.
