Crypto Rebound, Musk Versus Putin Duel Continues And Binance Expands Into Brazil
Last Updated on 17 March 2022 by CryptoTips.eu
Bitcoin and Ether showed strong gains as the hope of a peaceful agreement between Ukraine and Russia grows.
Global stock markets followed suit and a lot will now depend on whether President Zeleynski of Ukraine and President Putin of Russia are able to strike a deal which will let markets concentrate on more normal things like inflation and covid again.
In the past day, biggest gainers in the CoinMarketCap top 100 were Celo (Up 41%), The Sandbox (Up 17%) and Thorchain (Up 16%).
Musk versus Putin duel continues
Elon Musk, who had two days ago challenged Russian President Vladimir Putin to single combat, has taken it a step further. Doubling down on his previous proposal, Musk promised he would fight him only using one hand. The new offer came shortly after a Putin loyalist told the Tesla CEO that he was no match for Putin.
Thank you for the offer, but such excellent training would give me too much of an advantage.

If he is afraid to fight, I will agree to use only my left hand and I am not even left-handed.

Binance wades into South America
Binance, still the world’s biggest cryptocurrency and blockchain infrastructure provider, expanded into Brazil when it announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding to purchase a Brazilian securities brokerage firm which has a license to operate from the Central Bank of Brazil.
With this, Binance aims to further develop the cryptocurrency and blockchain ecosystem in Brazil.
Changpeng Zhao or CZ as he is known on social media, founder and CEO of Binance, traveled to Sao Paolo to sign the deal himself.
