In an attempt to attract females into the platform (currently 90% male) Binance is branching out into…perfume? They launched ‘CRYPTO’ on International Women’s Day, which smells like ozone, salt, and moss. Talk about diversification.

BTC Halving Cycle

Bitcoin halving is like the crypto version of a leap year, except instead of adding a day, we cut the Bitcoin miners rewards in half every four years. Why? To slow down the supply of new bitcoins and ensure that it stays valuable. The next halving cycle is April 19th, 2024, and will reduce the block reward to 3.123 BTC.
