As the crypto market slows down heading into the weekend, Bitcoin continues to hover just below the $68,000 mark. While most altcoins remain in the green zone, some tokens have experienced explosive growth thanks to positive market sentiment and big announcements. In a recent development, crypto giant Binance has announced that it will be adding a new token to its various platforms, sending the token’s price soaring by more than 20% in a single day.
