#MarketTurbulence

The turbulence in Binance and the crypto market is due to several factors. In February 2025, Bitcoin fell below $88,000, with liquidations of $1.5 billion, although CEO Richard Teng referred to it as a "tactical withdrawal". In April, altcoins experienced flash crashes on Binance, causing million-dollar losses, possibly due to an update or low liquidity. In 2023, a fine of $4.3 billion and accusations against former CEO Changpeng Zhao led to outflows of $1 billion and a 9% drop in BNB. Posts on X in August 2025 suggest manipulation through transfers of $SOL and $ETH to Wintermute, affecting retail traders, although without confirmation. Despite the volatility, Binance Research highlights solid fundamentals, with institutional adoption and growth in DeFi. Binance continues to lead with $37.2 billion in daily volume. Volatility persists due to macroeconomic tensions, but the market shows resilience. Investors should diversify and stay alert.
