Wallets linked to the suspected Binance hack are reportedly converting stablecoins that can be frozen into Ethereum on decentralized exchanges, according to Etherscan records. The story also notes that some DeFi platforms have paused trading. ETH was trading at $2,274 when the story was published and has since slipped 0.1%.
A new version of Tether's USDT stablecoin is being brought to the Bitcoin network, with promises of private transactions and very fast payments over the Lightning layer. Whether it can challenge the stablecoins already running on Ethereum and Tron remains an open question. Bitcoin was priced at $80,182 when the story ran, and it is down 1.2% since then.
