However, Binance’s new announcement may improve sentiment towards Binance. Binance recently announced that it will be launching the ARKM token sale on Binance Launchpad.

Will hype around a new airdrop be enough?

Arkham recently launched the On-Chain Intelligence Exchange, a platform that facilitates the anonymous buying and selling of information regarding the owner of any blockchain wallet address.
