Binance Wallet's Market Share Soars Amid OKX Service Suspension.

On March 18, Binance Wallet experienced a significant surge in activity, with its single-day volume reaching $90.556 million. This remarkable performance allowed Binance Wallet to capture over half of the crypto wallet sector's market share on that day.

Industry analysts suggest that this uptick is linked to OKX's recent suspension of its decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator service. On March 17, OKX announced the temporary halt to its DEX aggregator following attempts by the North Korean hacking group, Lazarus, to exploit the platform's decentralized finance (DeFi) services. The exchange stated that the suspension would allow for the implementation of additional security upgrades to prevent further misuse.

The absence of OKX's DEX aggregator may have prompted users to seek alternative platforms, contributing to the increased volume and market share observed by Binance Wallet. This shift underscores the dynamic nature of the crypto wallet sector and the rapid responses of users to changes within the ecosystem.

As the situation develops, it will be essential to monitor how both Binance and OKX adapt to these changes and what implications they hold for the broader cryptocurrency market.

Full Conversation Between Nnamdi Kanu And Justice Binta Nyako.

“I want to speak”, ~~~NNAMDI KANU

"Do you want to take over from your lawyer" – JUSTICE NYAKO

“Yes, I want to take over.” - Nnamdi Kanu

NNAMDI KANU RESPONSE TO THE JUSTICE NYAKO

"I am in court because of the respect I had for the court, but, the Judge no longer had the jurisdiction to preside over my case following her recusal in September." — Nnamdi Kanu

“A grown-up man like you who should be in the village and who should be making sure that things are done properly is here subverting the law.”

NNAMDI KANU TO THE PROSECUTING COUNSEL

“I don’t recognise the authority of this court to preside over my case. Everything you said here is meaningless to me.
“Why is it that when it comes to my case, everything is turned upside-down?”
The memo sent by the chief judge returning the case file to the Judge cannot override the enrolled order of the court made on September~~NNAMDI KANU

You are at liberty to appeal the directive of the chief judge — JUSTICE NYAKO TO NNAMDI KANU

"If the chief judge disagrees, he should appeal the decision.
You cannot preside over this case, not now, not today, not ever. You stand recused and you must leave my case. I don’t need you in my case. You are biased. Tell the chief judge that Nnamdi Kanu said so.
This is not a court of law, this is a shrine to injustice and I will not subject myself to it.”---NNAMDI KANU TO THE JUSTICE NYAKO

"In view of the fact that the defendant has indicated that he would not make a formal application, I apply that your lordship gives us a definite date for trial,” — PROSECUTING COUNSEL TO JUSTICE NYAKO

*Because of money they are paying you from the AGF’s office, a grown-up man like you is here supporting evil. The rule of law says you should go on appeal,” — NNAMDI KANU TO THE PROSECUTING COUNSEL

“The same chief justice writing this stupid memo, I have recused him before. He sat on appeal, I took him to NJC and recused him. Why is he insisting on this one? He wants to embarrass your lordship by asking her to sit on this case.” — NNAMDI KANU

The only decision I can make right now is that in the light of what is happening now in court, I am going to adjourn this case sine die (indefinitely).” — JUSTICE NYAKO.

Nnamdi Kanu in swift response, replied

“You have no jurisdiction to adjourn anything. None whatsoever. You cannot make an order without jurisdiction. The memo from the chief judge cannot confer jurisdiction upon you,” — NNAMDI KANU

The court room was silent for 5 minutes as Nnamdi Kanu's superior argument threw everybody in total confusion and deep thinking.

What do you think?
