Why Baby Dogecoin Is Getting Hammered Alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum Today

Baby Dogecoin (CRYPTO: BABYDOGE) is trading sharply lower some by 15.6% at $0.000000001017 Wednesday evening. Shares of several popular altcoins are trading lower during Wednesday's session following a CoinDesk report suggesting Binance is scrapping the FTX acquisition.

What Happened?

Due diligence was a condition of Binance's non-binding letter of intent for the acquisition, which was made public on Tuesday as FTX's financial situation appeared to be spiraling out of hand.
