Binance, currently the world’s third largest cryptocurrency exchange by bitcoin trading volume, is adding support for the recently launched stablecoin, USD Coin (USDC), this weekend.
Binance announced Thursday that it will open trading pairs for the regulated, U.S. dollar-pegged token against its own token Binance coin and bitcoin on Nov. 17, adding that it has already started accepting deposits for USDC in preparation for the start of trading.

Crypto finance firm Circle, which was involved in the token's development, also confirmed the news with CoinDesk on Thursday.
USDC was launched in September by CENTRE consortium as a way to tokenize U.S. dollars and easily transfer value on public blockchains.
The support for USDC comes shortly after Wei Zhou, Binance’s CFO, told CoinDesk in October that the firm is looking to list more stablecoins. The news means Binance will support four stablecoins, with tether , Paxos Standard (PAX) and TrueUSD (TUSD) already on the books.
Last month, U.S.-based crypto exchange Coinbase also announced it was adding USDC as its first stablecoin offering. Coinbase is one of the founding members of the CENTRE consortium, along with Circle.
Other exchanges including South Korea-based Korbit and Japan's Liquid have also recently made USDC available for trading on their platforms, according to a blog post by Circle on Tuesday.
More than 50 exchanges, protocols, platforms, applications and wallets now support the token, Circle said, adding that its circulating supply is currently at over 148 million.

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.

Dogecoin turns lower after failing to hold $0.124
Traders are watching $0.122 as support and $0.1243–$0.1255 as the levels DOGE needs to reclaim.
What to know:
- Dogecoin inched up about 0.6 percent over the past 24 hours but remained stuck in a tight trading range as broader crypto sentiment, rather than token-specific news, drove price action.
- Late-session selling pushed DOGE back below short-term support at $0.1243, turning that level into near-term resistance and signaling fading upside momentum within an overall consolidation.
- Traders see DOGE as range-bound while $0.1222 holds, with a break below $0.12 viewed as a potential trigger for a deeper pullback and a reclaim of $0.1243 needed to reopen a test of $0.1255.
