In a recent move, Binance crypto exchange made a decision to delist two unique trading pairs involving XRP and Dogecoin (DOGE).

According to a recent report by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), Binace CEO Changpeng "CZ" Zhao might potentially face legal action by the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ).
Shiba Inu's BONE token renounced: Here's what it means
Yesterday, Shiba Inu developer Kaal Dhairya took to X platform to share that Shibarium's gas token BONE has gone through a process of "renouncing."

The change has benefited BONE, as after the renunciation, the token's value experienced a noticeable uptick, spiking by 7% to $0.90, per CoinGecko.

SEC delays Ark Invest's spot Bitcoin ETF decision
According to yesterday's X post by Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart, the SEC has once again delayed its decision on Ark Invest and 21Shares' spot Bitcoin ETF filing. As noted by Seyffart, the delay announcement came "super early," as the decision was actually not due until Nov. 11. The analyst goes on, writing in his thread that this move by the regulator might speak of potentially delaying approvals for spot Bitcoin ETF applications until next year. With the U.S. government likely on the brink of a shutdown, which would incapacitate the SEC, such a decision appears to be a smart move on the part of the agency.
