Binance Coin Price Surpasses $10 Again as Momentum Turns Bullish

Binance coin price surpasses $10 again as momentum turns bullish


In the cryptocurrency industry, things are always evolving in many different ways. While most of the top currencies are moving up slightly, it seems the Binance Coin price is becoming pretty bullish once again. That in itself is a very interesting development, primarily because the $10 target is well within reach once again.

Binance Coin Price Tries to Rise

It is not all that easy for any cryptocurrency to make a positive push as of right now. That in itself is surprising to some, although most people can see the bigger picture. With bitcoin still remaining on somewhat uncertain ground, it is only normal the alternative markets will face a few hurdles along the way as well. Binance Coin is trying to break free from the pack right now, although it is still too early to speak of a confirmed breakout.

To put this in perspective, it seems as if things are heading in a promising direction where the Binance Coin price is concerned. With a 4.3% gain in USD value, the current price of $9.95 is not too far off the $10 mark. There is also a 3.5% gain in BTC and 2.2% gain in ETH value. All things are coming up green for Binance Coin all of a sudden, although it remains to be seen if the trading volume can effectively support this uptrend for very long.

One of the main reasons for this ongoing rise of BNB is how the ecosystem continues to grow in many different ways. Using BNB is about much more than reducing Binance trading fees these days, which only further strengthens the interest in this asset. Although the number of major use cases is still limited, significant progress has been made in recent months.


There is also an interesting tweet by the Binance CEO which seems to confirm Binance Coin is the top token on Ethereum’s blockchain in terms of market cap. That in itself will provide ammunition for a fair few different debates in the future. It is vastly more prominent than Maker, USD Coin, and TrueUSD, although all of those tokens target a very different audience first and foremost.

Last but not least, there are a few people who would like to see a partnership between PayPal and Binance in the future. While there is a case to be made there, it seems unlikely such a partnership will ever happen in the real world. After all, those companies are very different from one another. It could be a lucrative partnership for both companies, though.

With this positive momentum locked in place, it is evident things may continue down this path for a few more hours. Once the price hits $10, however, it is possible there will be a lot more negative pressure on BNB, for rather obvious reasons. It is evident there is no confirmation a bull trend will effectively materialize at this time. As such, there is a genuine reason to be cautious where this uptrend is concerned.

Abra Closes $16M in Funding and Looks to Venture Into Consumer Product Space

Abra Foxconn

Abra, a mobile payment and digital currency platform that relies on bitcoin, closed $16 million in series B funding, led by Foxconn, the electronics supplier for Apple and other tech giants.  

Bill Barhydt, founder and CEO of Abra, made the announcement on October 23, 2017, at Money20/20 in Las Vegas, where he also outlined his vision for how consumer product companies will use bitcoin in the future.

Other investors in the round include Silver Capital and IGNIA, as well as previous investors Arbor Ventures, American Express Ventures, Jungle Ventures, Lerer Hippeau and RRE Ventures. Total funding to date for the company now stands at nearly $35 million.

“We believe that Abra represents the future of digital payments and banking,” Jack Lee, founding managing partner at HCM, the investment arm of Foxconn, said in a statement, adding that Abra could potentially usher in a new era of financial inclusion to billions of people.

In speaking with bitcoin Magazine, Barhydt explained that Abra plans to use the funds to expand globally and invest in future product development. “We have a lot of project announcements we will be making on a rolling basis,” he said.

Three-Part Vision

Though Barhydt did not offer exact details on what Abra’s new products will be, he did drop several hints in his three-part vision for how consumer products will implement bitcoin in the future.

The first part, he explained, involves cross-border and consumer payments, which he said has been Abra’s focus for a couple of years now.

The second part involves using bitcoin as an investment vehicle, in which smart contracts built on top of bitcoin’s ledger would enable more complicated if-then types of financial transactions — payments that go through only if specific conditions are met.

Abra already relies on smart contracts to hold fiat currency and manage bitcoin price fluctuations, Barhydt explained.

He went on to describe the third part of his vision: “A new model of consumer asset finance,” which he said is where consumer product companies like Foxconn enter into the picture.

It was an idea that he conceived while recently traveling to Africa. There, he saw how a company was leasing solar panels to people who were making regular micro-payments via M-Pesa, a mobile money transfer service.

“They give solar kits to people who use them only if they make a weekly lease payment from M-Pesa wallet,” he explained. If a borrower does not make the payment, a SIM card in the phone communicates with the battery in the solar panel, shutting it off.

His idea was to extend the concept to other consumer appliances, like refrigerators, flat-panel TVs and washing machines, that people in developing countries struggle to afford.

“Using this model of embedding this cellular technology combined with a bitcoin-based payment system like Abra, you now have a new model where people can do instant on-lease payments,” he said, calling it a “new trillion-dollar business” that can only be done on scale using something like bitcoin.

Continuing to remain tight-lipped about future product launches, Barhydt said, “Our goal is to be the best digital currency wallet in the world for the average consumer, starting with real cash and bitcoin, and we’ll see how it evolves from there.”
