Altcoin News To Follow This Week
Ethereum (ETH)
News This Week: The Ethereum community is preparing for the Berlin hard fork, Ethereum developers have scheduled the Berlin hard fork for April 14 at block height 12,244,000″.
Why To Follow: The Berlin hardfork includes four EIPS: 2565, 2929, 2718 and 2930. The hardfork is expected to reduce the ETH gas fees and improve smart contract transactions, especially EIP-2565. ETH holders who do not operate nodes need to do nothing during the update.
Binance Coin (BNB)
News This week: Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao announced that the periodic burning for BNB tokens will take place in a few days.
Why To Follow: Binance shifts BNB supply/demand balance by burning BNB tokens every quarter of the year. Previous 14th quarterly BNB Burn (October to December 2020), Binance burned a total of 3,619,888 BNB, equivalent to $165,791,000 USD (At that Time) worth of tokens.
Burning of BNB tokens reduce their supply and as demand of BNB is increasing everyday, this result is increasing price of BNB, as we can see BNB is trading above $600.
When you burn coins, they are taken out of circulation forever. It increases the value of the remaining coins.#BNB 🔥 in a few days!
