The price of Binance Coin (BNB) has remained flat in the past 24 hours, with its current level of $244 representing a 4% loss in the last seven days.
BNB is also down by 1.5% in the last 30 days and has actually declined by 1% since the beginning of the year, in contrast to most other major cryptocurrencies (e.g. Bitcoin is up by more than 80% since January).

Most recently, it was reported that Binance had laid off more than 1,000 employees, with the company offering them two months pay in the form
