Some damage checks
In addition, Binance’s CEO, CZ, increased Twitter to allay concerns about stock market outflows. CZ clarified that the reported net outflow of approximately $392 million in the past 24 hours includes the impact of crypto price declines and should not be interpreted solely as a negative development.
CZ stressed that measuring changes in assets under management (AUM) and outflows are different, and some platforms overlook inflows. On days with significant price movement, arbitrage traders often move significant amounts between exchanges, exceeding normal activity levels.
Despite CZ’s efforts to reduce FUD, overall activity on Binance has dropped, negatively impacting the revenue generated by the protocol.
