Binance’s new CEO explains that there are a range of reasons for an “optimistic outlook” for bitcoin and the wider crypto market.

Britain is exploring new curbs on exporting and funding “sensitive technologies” amid growing tensions with China. Oliver Dowden, the UK’s deputy prime minister, launched a review of the restrictions on Thursday. He warned that “hostile states” could use British funds and tech for “military and intelligence” projects that threaten national security. “Our open economy is being targeted by state-based actors and their proxies,” Dowden said in a speech at the Chatham House think tank in London. “Across our inbound and outbound investment flows, our imports and exports, and our academic collaborations, the whole spectrum of our economic security interests is…

The post 2024 F1 Chinese Grand Prix Preview: Predict Who Will Challenge Max Verstappen & Win Prizes! appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Formula One returns to the Shanghai International Circuit this weekend, and with it comes a burning question: can anyone stop the juggernaut that is Max Verstappen and Red Bull Racing? After dominating last season and winning 3 of the opening 4 races this season, the Dutchman is well on course to secure his 4th World Championship.  

While the on-track action is sure to be gripping, there’s another way to get involved in the excitement: The Billion Dollar Jackpot! This exciting platform, powered by blockchain technology, allows Formula One fans to predict race outcomes, compete against friends, and win incredible prizes every race weekend.

Red Bull’s Reign: Unbreakable Force or Vulnerable Target?

Red Bull has looked unbeatable for two years now. Their car is a marvel of speed and consistency, and Verstappen has been driving with unmatched precision. Can anyone dethrone them? Ferrari has shown flashes of brilliance, but can Charles Leclerc or Carlos Sainz consistently challenge Verstappen?

Speaking of Sainz, the Spaniard has been on fire in recent races. Will he continue his good form and challenge for the number-one spot, or will the pressure of potentially stealing a win from Verstappen get to him? Knowing that he’ll be replaced by Sir Lewis Hamiton at Ferrari next season, there seems to be a sense of freedom from the Sainz, resulting in him putting up some of the best form of his career so far.

Mercedes Struggles To Continue?

Sir Lewis Hamilton and George Russell have not had the best of starts to the 2024 championship in the Mercedes. Russell, who will be the number one driver of the team next season has outperformed the 7 time world champion in every race so far this season but with only one top 5 finish between them, the struggles continue.

Can Hamilton or Russell find the pace that made the car so dominant before or will they continue to struggle for points? We expect the poor form of the Mercedes to continue at the Shanghai International Circuit this weekend with the Red Bull, Ferrari and McLaren all looking faster.

F1 Chinese Grand Prix Top 10 Prediction

Meanwhile, such a drop made some investors nervous and caused them to stay away from the market, others saw it as an opportunity and increased their purchases.
