Uniswap announced a new fee structure

Prepare to pay. Uniswap’s web app and wallet will introduce a 0.15% fee for specific token swaps from October 17, 2023, separate from the protocol fee. Token exceptions include Ethereum, USDC, wETH, and more, with no fee if trading between them or stablecoins. Founder Hayden Adams views this fee as a means to support DeFi’s growth and development, offering one of the industry’s lowest fees.

Interestingly, this is in contrast to the fact that earlier in June the team voted against introducing protocol fees. And considering that after the fees come into effect, Uniswap Labs will receive an average of $870K, this move is more beneficial to the company than to users. We hope that the announced development will be tangible and useful.

Binance.US users face withdrawal changes amid regulatory pressure

Following an update to its terms of use, Binance.US users can no longer directly withdraw dollars from the platform. Instead, they must convert USD to stablecoins or digital assets for withdrawal. This change comes in response to the U.S. SEC’s aggressive stance on the crypto industry, which led to banking partners becoming hesitant to engage with Binance.US.

This development underscores the growing regulatory pressures on the cryptocurrency industry, affecting both exchanges and users. Binance’s struggle with banking partners and regulatory challenges could impact the accessibility and ease of transactions for crypto enthusiasts, potentially influencing the broader crypto landscape.

💲 Ideas 

XRP price to surge 5000%?

Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has made an extremely bullish XRP price prediction. He predicts that XRP could reach close to $30 at its peak, with a potential 5,000% increase.

The prediction is based on the Elliot Wave Theory, which identifies five waves, with the third wave being significant and often eclipsing previous waves.

Egrag expects XRP to hit $6.5 during the third wave in 2024, with a temporary correction. The fifth wave is projected to be the grand finale, pushing XRP to at least $27, possibly between 2025 and 2026. The analyst suggests that investing in XRP below $0.50 could be a wise move given these expectations.

This bullish XRP prediction by Egrag Crypto seems overly optimistic, relying on the Elliot Wave Theory which is often criticized for its subjectivity and unpredictability. Such extreme forecasts can lead to a speculative frenzy in the crypto market, potentially resulting in high volatility and risky investment decisions. Caution and thorough research are advised before making any investment based on these predictions.

Apecoin potential moonshot

According to the technical analysis by trader AlanSantana, the Apecoin token could potentially experience a 1000% surge. However, the expert acknowledges the possibility of the altcoin moving in the opposite direction, but he believes this is unlikely.

“We can never say for sure but the probability is really high, about 90%, that the correction is over,” he stated.

It is assumed that the bottom has already been reached, and based on the charts, the minimum rebound could be around 465%. Additionally, the expert sees the potential for the pair to go much higher, possibly reaching 1000% or even more.

*Any technical analysis in the long run cannot accurately predict the movement because now is a very tough market and the news can swing currencies in all directions
