Binance Launched Tesla as First Binance Stock Token to Bridge Traditional & Crypto Markets
Cryptocurrency exchange Binance announced the launch of tradable stock tokens.

(TSLA) as the first Binance Stock Token. Further, users can trade this token on the Binance website under the pair TSLA/BUSD starting from April 12, 2021, at 1:35 PM (UTC).

BNB Coin Surpassed BTC/USDT Volume ln Binance After Hitting New All-Time High
For the talk of the town today, we have the Binance exchange coin (BNB), which has exploded over 1,500% since the start of this year. It surged from $37.39 to a high of $637 since January. Moreover, this recent uptick is due to recent developments in the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) and the increasing demand for new BSC projects such as PancakeSwap. In addition, this price surge has fueled its market cap to over $89 billion, and it became the third-largest crypto asset by market capitalization. Notably, BNB has surpassed the volume of the BTC/USDT pair on the Binance exchange today.
At the time of publication, BNB was trading close to $598. Before that, it had recorded an all-time high price of $637. Currently, BNB is facing the resistance of around the $600 region. However, if BNB turns this resistance into support, then it can further move to $749 and $825 levels. On the flip side, if BNB is unable to sustain the current support of $507 and breaks below 20-day EMA, then it can further drop to the $446 zone.
