The crypto market recorded a heavy sell-off during the last 24 hours, impacting several altcoins’ performance. Binance’s CEO seized the opportunity to state that no one really knows what influences this market.
In a June 10 tweet, Binance CEO Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao highlighted how human emotions sway the market. According to him, many people transact in a market, and everyone may have their reasons. During the last 24 hours, nearly $400 million was liquidated, with several altcoins recording double-digit losses.
False Narrative: Binance’s Fiat ConversionZhao stated that rumors that Binance converted its crypto holdings to fiat were a false market narrative. According to him, while the exchange’s fiat and stablecoin reserves for covering short-term salaries and expenses have decreased, its cryptocurrency reserves have increased over the past months, weeks, or days, depending on the timeframe considered.
His statement comes on the heels of the recent regulatory scrutiny that has bedeviled the exchange. Over the past week, the U.S. SEC sued Binance, Zhao, and its subsidiary, Binance.US, over violations of federal security laws. This news led to a net outflow of $3.1 billion in the past week, according to DeFiLlama data

On June 9, Robinhood said it would remove ADA, SOL, and MATIC from its platform on June 27. The crypto trading firm’s decision is coming on the heels of the SEC’s decision to classify several digital assets as securities.

Other NarrativesZhao also highlighted other popular narratives in the market like the “U.S. ban” and “China/HK unban.” According to him, the two emotions every trader must master in any market are “greed” and “fear.”
He advised his community to manage their risk, assuring users that the Binance platform would continue to work smoothly.
