BLUR jumping 10% on Binance announcement
USDⓈ-margined contracts are settled in USDT or BUSD. In this case, it is the former since BUSD is gradually being pushed out of circulation and usage.
Unlike regular futures contracts, perpetual ones do not have an expiry date, so traders can hold them for as long as they want.
The price of BLUR went up by roughly 10% on that news.
Whales buy 2 million BLUR
Crypto tracker @lookonchain has reported that after the price of BLUR soared, three ETH wallets bought 2 million of these tokens at the price of $0.636. They bought BLUR with sightly under 690 ETH (the equivalent of about $1.28 million USD) that they had withdrawn on April 15 after the Shapella upgrade on Ethereum was integrated.
The price of $BLUR has risen by ~10% with the announcement of launching $BLUR perpetual on #Binance.
