The addition of VEN/USDT is beneficial to both Binance and VeChain for the project has a large HODLer community as well as enthusiastic traders on the exchange. This pairing will enhance the liquidity of VEN as the project inches closer to the MainNet release on the 30th of June: which is approximately one week away.
Current market analysis indicate that VEN is currently trading at $2.95 and down 7.05% in the last 24 hours. The decrease in value is across the board for the crypto markets have suddenly experienced a decline to the tune of $10 Billion in total market capitalization in the last few hours. The reasons for the decline are yet to be concluded upon, but Ethereum World News will be there to update its readers on any developments.
