Following the news, BLUR price jumped nearly 30%, surging up to $0.62. The token’s market capitalization increased to $690.7 million, according to data from Coinstats.

The listing comes shortly after Blur founder Tieshun Roquerre announced he had raised $40 million to contribute to the Blur ecosystem. 

Binance said in the announcement that the listing cost 0 BNB in fees. However, it’s unclear if the proceeds from the $40 million funding were used for the listing.

Moreover, the Blur team also launched its own layer-2 network called Blast in a bid to reduce transaction costs for digital collectibles and earn yield with Ethereum staking.

Yet, the crypto community already noticed several issues related to Blast. According to Polygon engineer Jarrod Watts, five signer wallets of Blast’s multi-signature contract are all new unknown entities, which makes it risky for users “to send Blast funds in its current state.”
