Binance CEO CZ Responds to Allegations of Dumping BTC/BNB
CZ Response On Selling BTC
In response to a tweet by Skew, CZ vehemently denied the claims of selling BTC. Through his official Twitter account, CZ (@CZ_Binance) stated,
“Binance has not sold BTC or BNB. We even still have a bag of FTT.”
He further expressed astonishment at the notion that one can determine specific sellers based solely on a price chart involving millions of traders, dismissing it as FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt).
Skew claimed that BTC was being sold off for USDT reserves, which were then aggressively used to pump into BNB since May 27th. Additionally, BNB was allegedly sold off for BUSD to suppress volatility in BTC, and BUSD was further pumped into BTC to suppress downside volatility, allowing for BTC to be swapped out for USDT.

Another Tweet by @JW100x alleged that Binance and CZ were selling spot Bitcoin to defend against a $220 liquidation waterfall. Reports emerged that CZ has been taking measures to prevent BNB from plummeting to $220, a critical level that could result in the liquidation of $200 million on the Venus Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO).

This strategy, known as a “liquidation waterfall,” is a common tactic employed by exchanges to protect their users from substantial losses. By selling spot Bitcoin and acquiring BNB, they aim to defend the $220 liquidation level and mitigate the risk of significant losses. However, this approach also imposes a limit on the potential upside of Bitcoin.
Bitcoin (BTC) has experienced a slight decline in value over the past week. As of now, the price stands at $25,922.80, reflecting a decrease of 3.72% over the last seven days.
