Binance Announces Official Launch of BFUSD
The world’s largest crypto exchange Binance on Tuesday announced the official launch of its reward-bearing asset BFUSD. The exchange clears that the crypto asset will provide users returns on qualifying balances in their futures account, with yield as high as 19.55%.
BFUSD is a reward-bearing asset by Binance, one of the top crypto exchanges, to provide users with returns on their qualifying balances in their futures account. It can also be used as a margin in the multi-asset mode while still earning rewards.
Binance Introduces High-Yield BFUSD Margin Asset
Binance Futures in an official announcement on November 26 revealed BFUSD reward-bearing asset’s launch. Users can start purchasing the margin asset at 2AM UTC on November 27.
The crypto exchange has set limit quota of the margin asset, which is based on a user’s VIP level. In order to participate, transfer USDT to UM wallet. Holders who traded UM futures one day prior will only get boosted APY. Interest payments will be distributed daily to users’ UM Futures accounts.
The supply is 120 million, with a collateralized percentage of 101.32%. It will offer base APY of 29.18%, with a boosted APY of 38.98%, as per Binance data.
Benefits and Risks of Holding the Asset
BFUSD is redeemable for USD stablecoin. It means users can redeem it for the US dollar, making it an ideal choice for seeking a stable solution in the crypto market.
Moreover, the exchange has also set BFUSD Reserve Fund specifically to cover potential costs from funding dees, supporting the maintenance of the Collateral Pool and the Hedging Portfolio.
One of the major benefit is its use as margin to trade USD-M contracts in multi-asset mode. There are two reward rates available each day – base rate and boosted rate. The exchange will use proceeds from BFUSD sales to execute investment strategies that generate passive income.
Some risks of holding the margin asset include negative funding rates and no right, claim, entitlement or other interest from collateral pool, hedging portfolio or reserve fund. Also, users are also exposed to Binance credit risk, redemption failure, and viable fees.
Binance earlier cleared to CoinGape that BFUSD is not a stablecoin. The exchange has also announced a promotion for early adopters. These include zero fees at purchase and 100,000 USDT in token vouchers.

Shiba Inu lead developer Shytoshi Kusama lauded TRON’s Justin Sun on Tuesday over the blockchain’s recent milestone achievement. The lead developer primarily highlighted TRX’s product-market fit (PMF) in stablecoin use cases, underscoring the network’s pioneering stance as a decentralized, fast, and affordable solution.
Notably, Kusama further stated that Shibarmy “will achieve the same (product-market fit) in a different manner,” with market watchers speculating as the broader industry eyes TREAT token launch shortly ahead.
Shiba Inu Lead Dev Praises TRON’s Justin Sun
In a reply to Justin Sun’s X post, Shytoshi Kusama stated on November 26, “You were a big inspiration for me early on, and I am proud to see you achieve PMF in this space.” This statement primarily points to TRON’s native token, TRX, achieving a strong product-market fit in stablecoin use cases.
Notably, the TRON blockchain processes 92% of USDT transactions and hosts $60B in USDT. However, TRX’s market cap is only $17B, per ‘Kate The Alt,’ the Alt account of CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju. This data indicated that TRX-based USDT is far more adopted than even ETH-based USDT, offering low-cost, fast stablecoin remittances in global trade.
Speculations Of TREAT Token Launch
Pointing to this landmark achievement, Justin Sun glimmered with immense optimism. Shiba Inu’s lead developer Shytoshi Kusama further highlights this achievement, hinting that the SHIB ecosystem is also eyeing achieving the same PMF but in a different manner. This statement, hinting at a looming achievement for the dog-themed coin, has set off waves of discussions as Kusama recently hinted at TREAT token launch to further bolster the SHIB ecosystem.
In addition, amid rising optimism with the abovementioned developments, a substantial spike in layer-2 network Shibarium’s TVL has added to market enthusiasm surrounding the meme coin. Notably, the meme crypto’s marketing lead, LUCIE, recently revealed that TVL on Shibarium hit an ATH at $8.57 million. This data further cements the coin’s future with market optimism.
Will SHIB Price Gain Following Recent Developments?
Crypto watchers are extensively eyeing the dog-themed meme coin amid a highly bullish Q4. However, SHIB price traded at $0.00002529, down 1% intraday. Its 24-hour low and high were $0.00002436 and $0.0000264, respectively.
Nevertheless, the monthly chart for the crypto indicates gains of 48%. This broader bullish movement, accompanied by the abovementioned movements, has kept investors optimistic about future movements.
Moreover, a recent Shiba Inu price analysis by CoinGape indicated that the token already eyes further gains as its supply continues to shred due to constant token burning. Market watchers remain bullish as the Q4 ripple effect is yet bullish, followed by recent ecosystem developments.

Crypto analyst Master Kenobi has provided a bullish update for the Dogecoin price, predicting that the foremost meme coin can reach as high as $2.8. In his update, the analyst also explained why Dogecoin’s outlook is still bullish.
Dogecoin Price To $2.8 And Why It Can Happen
In his DOGE update, Master Kenobi shared an accompanying chart that showed that the Dogecoin price could rally to $2.8 in this market cycle. The analyst further explained why Dogecoin’s outlook looks this bullish. First, he alluded to the “zoom-out” perspective, which remains bullish, although the time frame might shift slightly to align more closely with a potential decline in Bitcoin dominance.
While analyzing the chart, Master Kenobi said that the Dogecoin price may currently be equivalent to January 4th, 2021, in the 2021 bull run. If that is the case, the analyst stated there might be a period of volatility. He revealed something similar happened during the last cycle when the price dropped by 55% over two red weeks.
Master Kenobi again touched on the 91-day sequence, which he reaffirmed remains valid. He added this sequence will conclude on December 9th. If that doesn’t happen, the analyst stated that the window for the sequence to end will be between December 9th and December 23rd, 2024.
Based on the trend from the previous cycle, Master Kenobi predicts that the Dogecoin price could reach this $2.8 target between December 9th and December 23rd. However, he remarked that he was still staying grounded as he couldn’t imagine what fundamentals could trigger such a massive move.
Meanwhile, the analyst stated that the conservative plan suggests that a range of $1 to $1.45, double the Dogecoin price’s current all-time high (ATH), is more plausible for this timeframe.
Why DOGE Is The Major Focus
Master Kenobi is known for focusing on the Dogecoin price in his analysis, and in his recent one, he explained why Dogecoin continues to remain the major focus. According to him, he prefers to study DOGE because it provides the most data for analysis. He added that the foremost meme coin also serves as a representative for altcoins to a greater or lesser degree.
The analyst also mentioned that he could analyze utility coins, which are not meme coins, but he completely disregards their technological advancements. Master Kenobi remarked that he considers these technological advancements “fugazi” and a distraction from what truly matters.
To conclude the Dogecoin price update, Master Kenobi stated that if Dogecoin closes this week in green, it will be the second-longest streak in DOGE’s history, with six consecutive green weeks. The longest streak was eight weeks, between November 2017 and January 2018.
At the time of writing, the Dogecoin price is trading at around $0.42, down over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
