Amid this bullish momentum, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), the former CEO of Binance, has issued crucial advice on risk management for investors.

CZ, who recently regained his freedom, has a wealth of experience in the cryptocurrency sector. During his time in prison, his guards asked him for investment advice. However, he refrained from providing such advice due to the lack of up-to-date information.

As #bitcoin make successive new all time highs, apply proper risk management. There will be many dips (and highs) in the future. Make sure you can handle them. Control your greed. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Ape slowly. https://t.co/lSfLHbj7go

CZ Shares Wisdom With the Market

Now, with full access to the market, CZ shares his insights to help investors navigate the rapidly rising market. In a recent post, CZ emphasized the importance of proper risk management, particularly during periods of market exuberance.

“As bitcoin makes successive new all-time highs, apply proper risk management,” CZ stated. This reminder comes at a time when the market is experiencing rapid growth, which often leads to increased investor enthusiasm and potential overexposure.

CZ highlighted the inevitability of market fluctuations, noting that investors should be prepared for both dips and highs. “There will be many dips (and highs) in the future. Make sure you can handle them,” he advised. This perspective is essential for long-term investors who must navigate the inherent volatility of the cryptocurrency market.

One of CZ’s key messages is the need to control greed and avoid over-investment pitfalls. “Control your greed. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Ape slowly,” he cautioned.

He emphasized the importance of diversification and measured investment strategies. Investors are encouraged to spread their investments across various assets to mitigate risk and avoid significant losses from market downturns.

CZ’s recent post also revisited a post he shared in February 2021: “If you can’t hold, you won’t be rich.” He shared this when Bitcoin rose to its all-time high of $58,000. This statement highlights the value of patience and long-term commitment in the cryptocurrency market.

Holding through market fluctuations can be challenging, but it is often necessary to achieve substantial gains.

What’s Next for the Crypto Market

The performance of Bitcoin in the wake of Trump’s election victory has been nothing short of remarkable. The crypto’s rapid ascent past $76,000 and $77,000 marks a significant milestone.

Prominent voices in the market have been predicting bull runs after Trump’s victory. This surge reflects growing investor confidence and increased mainstream acceptance of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as a viable investment.

A Tale of Two Eras

Hoskinson vividly depicted Binance’s remarkable journey from a small exchange to a global powerhouse under Zhao’s leadership. He acknowledged Zhao’s pivotal role in shaping the crypto landscape, driving its expansion and mainstream adoption.

However, Hoskinson also recognized the risks associated with the uncontrolled growth of centralized entities like Binance. He attributed Zhao’s departure to the exchange’s involvement in trading activities with individuals considered adversaries by the United States government.

Anticipating the consequences of Binance’s leadership change, Hoskinson predicted a surge in regulatory scrutiny within the crypto industry. He emphasized the US government’s recent actions against Binance as a sign of increased focus on enforcing compliance among market participants.

Hoskinson expressed concern about the potential targeting of liquidity providers and non-custodial wallets, such as MetaMask. He highlighted the possibility of regulatory intervention in areas involving Metadexes and decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols.

This decision comes as part of a settlement reached with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), allowing the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange to continue its operations.

The settlement between Binance and the DOJ includes a payment of $4.3 billion by the exchange, marking a significant milestone in the DOJ’s ongoing investigation into the exchange’s activities. This settlement is expected to bring an end to the probe and remove the threat of further legal action against the exchange.

Despite his resignation as CEO, Changpeng Zhao will retain ownership of Binance. However, he will be prohibited from holding any executive positions within the company, effectively removing him from day-to-day operations.

Resolution of Civil Charges by the CFTC

The settlement also resolves civil charges brought against Binance by the Commodities Future Trading Commission (CFTC). These charges alleged that Binance provided illegal access to derivatives trading for U.S. customers and failed to maintain adequate anti-money-laundering controls.

Notably, the DOJ settlement does not address the ongoing lawsuit filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against Binance. The SEC is investigating whether Binance violated investor protection rules by offering BNB as an unregistered security.

Industry Shockwaves and Uncertain Future

The resignation of Changpeng Zhao and Binance’s guilty plea has sent shockwaves throughout the cryptocurrency industry. The exchange has faced numerous challenges in recent months, including regulatory scrutiny and employee departures.

Despite these challenges, Binance remains the largest cryptocurrency exchange globally, with a reported daily trading volume exceeding $24 billion. The ability of the exchange to continue operating under the terms of the DOJ settlement is a significant victory. However, it also raises questions about the future of the cryptocurrency industry as a whole.

Regulatory Focus on Cryptocurrency

The DOJ’s investigation into Binance highlights the increasing regulatory oversight of the cryptocurrency sector. Governments worldwide are grappling with the implications of digital assets, and major exchanges like Binance are facing continued scrutiny.

The outcome of the SEC’s lawsuit against Binance will have a significant impact on the industry. If the SEC finds that Binance violated investor protection rules, it could result in additional fines, penalties, and operational restrictions for the exchange.

The future of Binance and the cryptocurrency industry remains uncertain. However, the DOJ settlement and the ongoing SEC lawsuit represent a turning point for the sector. These developments will undoubtedly shape the way crypto exchanges operate and interact with regulators in the coming years.

In response to the rumors, Hillmann and Christie confirmed their resignations on Twitter without mentioning anything related to the exchange’s regulatory issues.

Christie said in a tweet, “My departure is far less sensational than any article might make it out to be.”

While Hillmann said, “It’s true that I am leaving Binance, but I’m doing so on good terms. I’ve been here for two years and it’s simply time for me to move on to the next challenge.”

CZ Binance Clarifies Departures, Condemns FUDs

In response to news about the rather unexpected resignations, Binance CEO said it’s a normal phenomenon at every company to see employee departures and arrivals, “But the reasons dreamed up by the “news” are completely wrong.”

CZ further said, “As an organization that has grown from 30 to 8000 people in 6 years, from 0 to the world’s largest crypto exchange in less than 5 months from founding (and HELD ON to that position ever since), we have been able to protect our users at all times and we have been extremely lucky to have some of the best talent the planet has to offer.

“As markets and the global environment for crypto changes, as our organization evolves, and as personal situations change, there is turnover at every company. We thank all of our ex-team members for their contributions to our growth, and wish them all the best. We also congratulate our team members who have grown into these new roles. They are all truly high caliber.”

In conclusion, CZ said the aim of the company is to continue to build for global expansion and adoption of crypto and it won’t cease hiring capable hands to achieve this global objective.

Recall that the SEC filed a 13-charge lawsuit against the biggest crypto exchange in the world in early June and subsequently filed a motion to freeze assets belonging to Binance.US, the United States branch of Binance. 

However, both parties later came to a common ground, agreeing that Binance.US would be allowed to access funds for its continued operations in the U.S. until the pending litigation is concluded. This agreement, amongst others, was approved by Washington District Court federal judge Amy Berman Jackson on June 27, 2023.

SEC accuses Binance and CZ of customer funds mishandling

Responding to this latest court ruling from Judge Jackson, the SEC issued a press release on the matter, stating that the Commission secured an emergency relief to protect Binance.US customers’ assets. The SEC further claimed that the Consent Order was essential to protecting investor assets because Changpeng Zhao and Binance have control of customers’ assets on the trading platform and have been commingling and diverting customer assets as they desire.

In particular, the Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement Gurbir S. Grewal said, “Given that Changpeng Zhao and Binance have control of the platforms’ customers’ assets and have been able to commingle customer assets or divert customer assets as they please, as we have alleged, these prohibitions are essential to protecting investor assets.”

“Further, we ensured that U.S. customers will be able to withdraw their assets from the platform while we work to resolve the alleged underlying misconduct and hold Zhao and the Binance entities accountable for their alleged securities law violations,” he added.

Binance hits back

According to Binance, the claims from the SEC are misleading and disappointing given that the securities agency submitted before the court that it lacks evidence concerning this matter. Contrary to the SEC’s claim that it is protecting Binance.US customers, Binance stated that the SEC’s main intent is to cause unwarranted confusion in the marketplace which could adversely affect its customers. 

In accordance, Binance filed a motion on June 21, requesting the presiding court to issue an order directing the SEC counsel to comply with all applicable rules of conduct concerning extrajudicial statements and Rules of Professional Conduct, which postulate that counsel cannot make misleading extrajudicial statements that may materially impact court proceedings.

In the wake of the 13-charge lawsuit filed against Binance by the Gary Gensler-led SEC on June 5, the attention of the Nigeria Securities and Exchange Commission was drawn to the website operated by an entity dubbed “Binance Nigeria Limited.” The platform which offers crypto trading services has been soliciting the Nigerian public to trade crypto assets on its various web and mobile applications. 

Given that “Binance Nigeria Limited” is unregistered with SEC Nigeria and hence, its services unregulated by the Commission, SEC Nigeria declared the operations of “Binance Nigeria Limited” illegal and warned Nigerians to desist from patronizing the platform. 

Per the circular issued on June 9, Binance Nigeria Limited was directed to immediately stop soliciting Nigerian investors in any form whatsoever by SEC Nigeria. The Nigerian securities commission added that further regulatory actions would be taken against “Binance Nigeria Limited.” Consequently, this development fueled more FUD against the Binance crypto exchange which has prompted Changpeng Zhao to address the issue.

Binance CEO Responds

Reacting to the matter, the widely followed CZ implied that Binance has no relationship with the entity known as “Binance Nigeria Limited,” urging users to not believe everything they see in the news. Accordingly, the exchange founder noted that a cease and desist notice has been sent to the said entity which he called a scam. 

Binance have issued cease & desist notice to the scammer entity "Binance Nigeria Limited".

Don't believe everything you read in the news.

— CZ Binance (@cz_binance) June 18, 2023

On the other hand, Binance is pushing to obtain clarity from SEC Nigeria. “The entity mentioned in the circular is not affiliated with us. We are therefore seeking clarity from the Nigerian SEC and remain committed to working with them cooperatively on the next steps,” a Binance spokesperson said.

As recently published, Binance CEO has expressed his delight and relief as the court resolved a protracted dispute in its lawsuit with United States SEC.

However, with the regulatory uncertainty gradually dissipating, CZ can now find solace and focus on Binance’s future. In a tweet, the experienced crypto entrepreneur emphasized that the SEC’s request for emergency relief was unnecessary, affirming that the mutually agreed-upon resolution would allow Binance to move forward unimpeded.

In a noteworthy development, Judge Amy Berman Jackson of the US District Court for the District of Columbia approved the “Proposed Stipulation and Consent Order” between Binance, Binance.US, and the US SEC on Saturday, June 18.

According to the consent order endorsed by Judge Jackson, the court obligated Binance to “repatriate” all fiat currency and cryptocurrency assets associated with Binance U.S. by the specified date in the court’s order. Furthermore, the agreement imposes restrictions on Binance Global officials, preventing them from accessing all wallets’ private keys, including cold and hot wallets.

Despite the challenges and regulatory hurdles faced by Binance recently, CZ emphasizes the company’s unwavering commitment to ongoing operations. While expressing satisfaction with the resolution of the SEC matter, the CEO of Binance underscores the assurance that users’ funds have remained safe and secure across all Binance-related services.

Throughout the challenging period, Binance prioritized the safety and security of user funds by implementing robust security measures across all affiliated platforms. Additionally, there are indications from Binance that its BNB Chain is currently exploring possibilities for the development and launch of a Layer-2 blockchain solution.

Notably, this surge in the price of USTC came amid the market-wide correction, triggered by the recent regulatory clampdown on the stablecoin BUSD, wholly owned by Paxos.

CZ Admits TerraClassicUSD (USTC) has the Right Vision

The entire fiat-backed stablecoin market seems to be at risk following the latest regulatory attack on the Binance-branded stablecoin BUSD, issued and managed by a top centralized crypto trading platform, Paxos. 

On Sunday, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) threatened Paxos with a lawsuit over BUSD. Shortly after this, the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) per a public alert “ordered Paxos to cease minting Paxos-issued BUSD as a result of several unresolved issues related to Paxos’ oversight of its relationship with Binance regarding Paxos-issued BUSD”. 

From the foregoing, a top crypto analyst stressed the need for a stablecoin that is not fiat-backed. That is an algorithmic-based stablecoin that is likely beyond the reach of regulators. TerraClassicUSD (USTC) formerly known as TerraUSD (UST) is a typical example of an algo-based stablecoin. Unfortunately, the asset depegged in May 2022, losing parity with the dollar. 

According to a widely followed crypto pundit and DeFi enthusiast, Miles Deutsche, USTC had the right vision but was managed poorly by Do Kwon and TerraForm Labs. He said, “UST (now USTC) had the right vision all along.” “It was just executed poorly. But the need for a robust decentralized stablecoin hasn’t gone away,” he added. 

Among those who reacted to this Monday tweet was Changpeng Zhao (CZ), the CEO of Binance and founder. CZ Binance admitted that the idea behind the supposed stablecoin TerraClassicUSD (USTC) is what the current crypto industry needs, considering the growing attack on fiat-backed stablecoins. “Sad but true,” was the response from CZ. 

sad but true.

— CZ Binance (@cz_binance) February 13, 2023

At the time of writing, USTC is trading for $0.03 per coin with a 1.3% decline in the last 24 hours.

The post Terra Classic USD (USTC) Sees Substantial Rally after Binance CEO’s Comment: Details appeared first on Times Tabloid.

According to him, 2022 has been a very turbulent year in the crypto space as several project failures were recorded including Do Kwon’s Terra (LUNA), Celsius Network, Voyager, Three Arrows Capital (3AC), and Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX exchange. 

While these unfortunate occurrences fueled the present crypto bear market that has seen Bitcoin (BTC) fall near the $15k zone, CZ noted that crypto prices have been incredibly resilient adding that the next bull run will be massive, making the crypto industry a stronger one. 

He wrote, “in terms of market health, every bear market is better than the last, and I expect the industry to recover relatively quickly. We’re still seeing the secondary cascading effects on the market, but crypto prices have been incredibly resilient. Regardless of whether recovery will happen in one month or one year, we will definitely come out on the other side as an exponentially stronger industry.”

CZ Binance added that innovations and sustainable developments in the nascent and growing industry are what will trigger the next bull run. “I believe that the next bull market will come from innovation in the ways these products are used to create unique utility,” he wrote in his latest letter to the crypto community. 

Looking at the losses incurred by crypto users as a result of failed projects, Changpeng Zhao stressed the need to build systems that ensure users’ safety and security of funds.

He wrote, “It’s critical now that the ecosystem focuses on protecting users first and foremost, but also on innovating and building in order to bring crypto and Web3 more deeply into people’s daily lives. I believe that infrastructure and data tools will continue to grow and advance and that we’ll see Web3 ownership evolve, with a rise in non-custodial and multi-chain wallets.”

While many have tried to predict when the next bull market will set in, CZ noted that the expected bull run may happen anytime as the exact timing is impossible to know.

Meanwhile, he encouraged industry players to stay focused on building new and sustainable products as it is the major catalyst needed for the anticipated change of trend in the crypto market.

This FUD surrounding Binance and centralized exchanges, in general, began after the implosion of the then-second-largest crypto exchange FTX, which was founded by Sam Bankman-Fried. More so, the FUD got intense when the leading audit firm Mazars, temporarily ceased partnership with all its crypto clients including Binance, Crypto.Com, and KuCoin. 

The corresponding removal of Binance’s proof of reserve audit from auditor Mazar’s website around mid-December, the huge outflows from the exchange this month, and CZ’s $2.1 billion FTT statement on CNBC led to rumors of a Binance “bank run”/ insolvency. It’s worth noting that on November 6, CZ wrote, “as part of Binance’s exit from FTX equity last year, Binance received roughly $2.1 billion equivalent in cash (BUSD and FTT). Due to recent revelations that have come to light, we have decided to liquidate any remaining FTT on our books.”

However, on-chain data on Defilama show that Binance has a reserve of $55.16 billion at press time and this is verifiable on the blockchain. Reacting to the FUD regarding the billions of funds sent out of the exchange this month, CZ noted that it was business as usual adding that the exchange has processed even more volume several times.

Binance CEO Reacts to the Growing FUD

To further address the issues, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao took to Twitter before Christmas day to share a few (non-exhaustive) reasons regarding why people FUD on the popular centralized exchange. He wrote:

• Some in our industry hate centralization. Regardless if a CEX helps with crypto adoption at a faster rate, they just hate CEX. Everyone is allowed to hold their views and voice their opinions. Nothing wrong with that.

• Some lose money on trading or experience other issues and may blame and attack us. Not all cases have black-and-white right-or-wrongs.

• Some industry players view Binance as competition. We have seen some go to extraordinary lengths to lobby against us, or loaning sums of money to small media that are worth many times the media outlet’s market value, including buying their CEOs houses, etc

• some media gets paid to FUD us. Some are entirely “owned” by a “competitor”. Some may wrongly think that we cut off their funding sources (we didn’t, they failed on their own), and blame us, regardless of how illegitimate their funding sources may have been.

• Crypto has not reached mass adoption yet, probably less than 5% globally. Many people are still skeptical about crypto. Some media have readerships that are more traditional and will tend to align with their views. Nothing wrong with that.

• The same goes for politicians, policy-makers, etc. Not all of them are cutting-edge progressive. Being conservative is not wrong. I have met leaders who want to “protect” their banks instead of “disrupting” them with crypto. I personally hold the opposite view, of course. I think the best way to protect banks from disruption is to let them adopt blockchain technologies as early as possible. Again, I could be wrong here.

• And then there are generalizations. “If one CEX is bad, then all other CEXs must be bad too.” Especially if they liked a CEX before, who later turned out to be bad. Then, they must hate the other CEXs with a stronger vengeance.

• There may be a tiny number of people who are jealous, or just plain racist against Chinese-looking Canadians. Who knows? We don’t care

• Size. Writing about “Binance” gets you more clicks. If you write about a small exchange, you get less clicks. Size has pros and cons.

Summarily, CZ stated that Binance remains focused on building despite the prevailing side talks, beckoning all players in the blockchain industry to ignore FUD. “Most of the above have no absolute right or wrongs. It’s just how our world is. We only need to recognize and understand it. We are not perfect. We welcome feedback but ignore FUD. We focus on building our products with your support,” he added.
