In only several hours since its massive gain, the crypto saw a staggering performance, with its week's charts seeing a 7.5 percent decline. According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin saw a 2.1 percent drop in only 24 hours before settling at $65,000 for the weekend.

This massive BTC drop also affected other coins, including Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, Near, and Avalanche.

Binance CEO: 2024 is a ‘Landmark’ Year

Binance CEO Richard Teng has massive beliefs for this year, with the top executive calling 2024 a "landmark" for the entire crypto industry. Teng touted massive growth for the market, which also comes alongside Binance's massive position now, as the return of the company's operations and footing is also seeing benefits from the prominent bear market now.

According to Teng, the industry is now seeing a rebound due to regulatory clarity from agencies and the growing adoption of crypto in the market.

Currently, Binance has started appointing its monitors, who will join the company for three years and monitor their operations as part of the US DOJ plea deal.

The company is celebrating a 200 million registered users milestone, with a 12.5 percent increase in its monthly active users from February to May.

Ripple Believes RLUSD Will Help XRP

Ripple put massive hopes on the upcoming release of its USD-based stablecoin, RLUSD, and according to Chief Technology Officer David Schwartz, it will help XRP grow more in the market soon.

The questions regarding what RLUSD will bring to the table were asked last XRP Ledger Apex Summit 2024, with the company claiming that both coins will see mutual benefits from each other.

The RLUSD's future release would help to "fully deploy" XRP's qualities and offer an entry and exit gateway for its cryptocurrency.

Its synergistic relationship will be seen in the future, with Ripple betting heavily on its RLUSD and XRP once they are both available in the market.
