Helium COO: "No Reason" for HNT Delisting on Binance

 


Helium Foundation Chief Operating Officer Scott Sigel claims cryptocurrency exchange Binance has “no reason” for delisting several trading pairs of its cryptocurrency Helium Network Token (HNT).


Sigel was responding to a note from Binance on Oct. 6, stating that the exchange will open Cross Isolated Margin and Spot trading pairs for HNT and Binance USD (BUSD), Tether 

Binance strongly advised its users to close all positions with the quoted pairs as user positions will be forcibly closed and all pending orders will be canceled on October 12th. Only spot trading for the pair HNT/BUSD will remain.


Jessica Jung, a spokeswoman for Binance, said in a statement to Forbes that the exchange regularly reviews its listed cryptocurrencies to ensure they continue to "perform to a high standard."


If an asset is not up to standard or "there are changes in the industry," it will be removed from the list "to protect our users," she explained.


Sigel then stated, "There is no reason for Binance to delist multiple HNT pairs. The integrity of HNT has not changed and it continues to meet all standards set by the exchange."


"There are dozens of other exchanges that continue to support HNT. We hope that Binance will change course and list the other HNT pairs again soon," he added.


Founded in 2013 as an Internet of Things (IoT) focused blockchain, Helium is building a decentralized peer-to-peer wireless telecommunications network . On September 22, the company said it would migrate its blockchain to Solana , in part because the ecosystem is better supported there.


The question of why Binance is partially delisting HNT has been hotly debated among traders. Some claim that this is in response to Binance's mix-up with the Helium token in September, which saw the exchange reportedly lose $19 million worth of cryptocurrencies due to an accounting error.


It says Binance confused HNT with a much smaller token called MOBILE, which is used by Helium to pay hosts for its 5G hotspot network. The exchange paid out about 4.8 million HNT, which led to a massive sell-off of the token and temporarily caused its price to drop.


Helium has also been criticized for generating little revenue from the project despite significant funding rounds. Data released in July showed the project is taking in just $6,500 a month despite the company raising hundreds of millions from companies including Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), FTX Ventures and Tiger Global.


In August, it was revealed that Helium listed partners on its website, namely e-bike company Lime and software company SalesForce, who weren't actually partners. Both companies have denied working with or have an active partnership with the company. Helium removed the names of the two companies from its website shortly thereafter.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
