'Calm before the storm' ahead of US election, Coinbase accused of huge token listing fees

Many expected heavy volatility in the lead-up to today's US presidential election, but the past 24 hours have been quiet in what's being called a "calm before the storm" by Bitfinex analysts. So much hinges on the outcome of this election, though there are differing opinions on what the impact might be. Elsewhere, Coinbase is hit with allegations from big names in the crypto space that it is charging exorbitant fees to list tokens, and Microsoft may risk a shareholder lawsuit if it ignores Bitcoin and the price rises.
