Arbitrum faces backlash for canceling decentralized exchange IAO

The Arbitrum decentralized exchange AlienFi’s cancelation of the Xirtam token’s initial airdrop offering (IAO) just minutes before its scheduled launch has caused controversy in the crypto community.

Bitcoin Surges to $30K Prior to Massive Weekly Options Expiry

Bitcoin’s price rallied on April 26th, breaking the $29,800 level and surging 9.6% in just 24 hours, reaching a high of $30,024 on Bitstamp.
