Is the Binance FUD real? On-Chain Data Shows Massive Bitcoin Inflow and Outflow
Binance, the world’s largest crypto-exchange, is embroiled in the controversy surrounding Paxos’s BUSD and compliance gaps. A recent report also revealed that Binance transferred $400 million of partner funds from Binance CEO “CZ” to a trading company.
Binance is considering ending business relationships with U.S. companies due to regulatory pressure in America. CZ stated that “We pulled back on potential investments, or bids for bankrupt U.S. companies for now.”
Binance announced in September last year that it would convert USDC, Pax Dollars (USDP) and True USD (TUSD), into BUSD. It also removed spot and future trading with USDC and USDP and TUSD pairs.
The market cap has dropped by $2.6 billion due to US regulatory action against Binance, Paxos-issued BUSD, and 13.5B now because of it. The market cap has risen to $70.16 and most of it has moved into USDT.
Binance has now switched to TUSD stablecoin as a trade currency. After a recent crackdown on the Paxos-issued USD by U.S regulators, Binance was able to mint $50 million worth TUSD.
