Binance CEO Changpeng ‘CZ' Zhao denied rumors<\/span> that his exchange was selling Bitcoin to protect BNB's price, according to a June 13 tweet.<\/p>\n

CZ tweeted that “Binance have not sold BTC<\/a> or BNB<\/a>,” adding that the exchange still holds “a bag” of bankrupt FTX's FTT<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Zhao's statement responded to several market analysts who alleged that Binance was wash-trading BNB's trading volume<\/a> to maintain its price above a certain threshold. CZ said:<\/p>\n

“It is amazing they can know exactly who sold based on just a price chart involving millions of traders. FUD.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Market speculations<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

On June 12, crypto analyst JW alleged Binance was selling “spot Bitcoin at an alarming rate” to defend BNB's price from dropping below $220. JW said<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“As spot Bitcoin is sold off, BNB is purchased, which defends the $220 liquidation but also caps the upside potential of Bitcoin”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Technical analysis platform Skew corroborated<\/a> JW's statement, claiming Binance appears to have been selling BTC for USDT, which is then pumped into BNB since May 27.<\/p>\n

The platform further noted that BNB was being sold off for BUSD to suppress BTC volatility. It added:<\/p>\n

“This is technically market manipulation, Binance is definitely up to something here to prevent BNB from crashing as well BTC.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Meanwhile, market analyst Joe Consorti pointed out<\/a> that there was an unusual price action on Binance. Consorti added:<\/p>\n

“Loads of selling pressure on bitcoin not present on other exchanges. More cannon fodder that they may be selling spot BTC to prop up BNB.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to these analysts, Binance was defending the $220 level to prevent a “liquidation waterfall.” CryptoSlate<\/em> reported<\/a> that Binance's BNB ecosystem faces a $200 million liquidation if its price falls below $220.<\/p>\n

BNB is up 5%<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Despite the allegations and regulatory challenges surrounding Binance, BNB is up roughly 5% in the last 24 hours to $246.96 at the time of writing, according to CryptoSlate's<\/em> data. On the other hand, BTC<\/a> is down 0.88% to $25,924.<\/p>\n

BNB is one of the numerous digital assets the SEC labeled security in its June 5 lawsuit<\/a> against Binance\u2014a charge disputed<\/a> by the exchange.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
