In their announcement, Binance noted that tokens tagged for monitoring display higher volatility and risks compared to others listed on the platform.

It's Not Too Late to Apologize

Internet personality and wrestler Logan Paul made an announcement today on X that detailed a buy-back program for CryptoZoo NFT project participants and a new lawsuit against his two co-creators.

The influencer wrote that he plans to personally put in over $2.3 million to buy back Base Eggs and Base Animals NFTs from "every person who intended to play" the CryptoZoo game, which never came to fruition.

NFT holders can submit claims online until Feb. 8, he noted.
