What’s new? The CEO of cryptocurrency exchange Binance Changpeng Zhao said that the platform did not buy 101 266 BTC ($2 billion as of June 20), as previously reported in the media. On June 19, CoinGape reported that the cryptocurrency exchange took advantage of the decline in the bitcoin rate to buy the asset. Zhao called the information “another wrong article.” He noted on Twitter that the authors of this piece do not understand how exchanges work with cold wallets. Zhao explained: that an increase in funds on the exchange’s cold wallet means more users deposited to the platform.
Another wrong article. When #Binance cold wallet increases, it means more users deposited to #Binance. This journalist doesn't seem to under the concept of cold wallets for exchanges. 😂» Breaking: Binance Buys The Dip, Adds 101,266 Bitcoin https://t.co/RbrAHiUL2t— CZ 🔶 Binance (@cz_binance) June 19, 2022
