Forbes reports that despite the recovery in the cryptocurrency markets after the demise of the FTX exchange, the situation with Binance withdrawals has not yet normalized.
According to Forbes, Binance lost $12 billion in assets as a result of consumers continuing to withdraw money from the exchange. Interestingly, along with other cryptocurrencies, Binance's native cryptocurrency, BNB, just saw a significant recovery. The market value of Binance's stablecoin, BUSD, dropped from its November highs at the $23 billion mark to its current level of $16.4 billion.
According to Forbes' estimates, investors were lowering their exposure to Binance. As Binance is without a doubt the best centralized exchange, this is significant for the whole cryptocurrency industry. The business may have trouble luring in fresh capital if cryptocurrency investors continue to worry about the security of their money.
Markets for cryptocurrencies are rising at the start of the week.
It seems that cryptocurrency traders have now become used to the steady stream of bad news. The Forbes article on Binance received little response from the market, and cryptocurrencies kept on rising.
Ethereum surged in the direction of $1350 while Bitcoin stabilized over the $17,300 mark. Solana, which languished after the demise of FTX but recently had significant support, surpassed the $16.00 mark.
Whether withdrawals from the Binance exchange will exert any meaningful impact on the cryptocurrency market in the near future remains to be seen. In the past, Binance has said that it has no debt and that user assets were always fully supported.
It seems that the market thinks the exchange has no significant issues. Due to Binance's prominent position in cryptocurrency trading, the crypto markets may come under tremendous pressure if Binance displays any significant symptoms of weakness.
