1. The price of EOS has jumped more than 10 percent since last night, leading an overwhelmingly positive crypto market. Cardano, which recently rejoined the top ten by market cap, has also seen growth of about 10 percent in the last two days. Bitcoin has seen more modest gains, but did eclipse the $4,000 per coin barrier for the third time this month. The growth of altcoins has been a major story in recent weeks with the Bitcoin Dominance Index threatening to drop below 50 percent. –CRYPTO BRIEFING

2. The internet is buzzing with some FUD about CoinBene, which we will try to straighten out the best we can. The exchange went into "maintenance mode" on Tuesday to upgrade its wallet security. The maintenance took a long period of time and some users suspected an attack. Things got worse when Elementus, a next-gen blockchain analysis company, released a report that claimed CoinBene moved $105 million in crypto. The report attempts to prove that CoinBene moved funds to other exchanges, something the exchange denies. The exchange has since released a statement saying all user funds are 100 percent secure. –AMB CRYPTO

3. The Ripple community wrote an open letter to Skype for it to accept digital currencies, including XRP. Ripple loyalists wrote on Skype's official forum that the age of micropayments has arrived and Skype can play a key role in that growth. The letter suggested that Skype allow users to purchase SkypeCredits using XRPTipBot, or send micropayments on Skype chat. A Skype official responded, saying Microsoft, Skype's parent, has started testing blockchain. The person added that although they did not have any information about crypto adoption for Skype they would "share it with our teams." –BITCOIN EXCHANGE GUIDE
