Binance BNB Sheds Over $10 Billion This Month Amid Regulatory Pressure

  • BNB has suffered a significant setback, losing $10 billion in market value.
  • SEC filed a lawsuit against the exchange, alleging it offered an unregistered security.
  • BNB’s market value currently stands at $37 billion, down from a peak of $110 billion.

In a recent development, Binance’s native crypto, BNB, has encountered a series of setbacks, shedding a staggering $10 billion market share since June 5. This steep decline can be attributed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) lawsuit against Binance, accusing the exchange of offering an unregistered security.

Unfortunately, the regulatory troubles do not end in the United States. Belgium, the Netherlands, and France have also posed challenges for the exchange, compounding the pressures faced by BNB. As a result, the token’s value has further dwindled, leaving investors and market participants concerned about its prospects.

Currently, BNB boasts a market value of $37 billion, down from over $47 billion on June 4, the day before the U.S. SEC filed a civil action against Binance. Like a stock-like asset, BNB value is closely tied to the performance of Binance’s trading platform and the broader ecosystem.

BNB experienced a meteoric rise alongside Binance.com’s trading volume, surging approximately 1,300% in 2021 and reaching a peak of around $675 per token, amounting to a staggering $110 billion market value.

Notably, Binance incentivizes customers to utilize BNB by offering discounts on crypto purchases made with BNB. Notably, BNB tokens comprise roughly 5.2% of the over $55 billion in customer assets held at Binance. Additionally, BNB serves as the native currency of BNB Chain, a blockchain initiated by Binance. The exchange also employs BNB for employee compensation, including salaries and bonuses, as disclosed in SEC filings.

Binance’s global market share has dropped from 64% to 56% since the beginning of the year. At the same time, trading volumes on Binance.US, its American affiliate, have experienced a rapid collapse, as Coin Edition recently reported.

Setup for High-Quality Altcoins Looking Increasingly Favorable As Global Liquidity Gears Up for Expansion: Jamie Coutts

Real Vision analyst Jamie Coutts thinks high-quality altcoins could be primed for price surges as global liquidity ramps up. Coutts tells his 18,600 followers on the social media platform X that the market looks close to washed out, global liquidity is about to turn higher and the risk/reward picture looks “increasingly favorable” for high-quality altcoins. “Top 200 Equal Weight vs. market cap weight ratio at extreme bearish levels. Currently, it’s -2.8 standard deviations ~ a bearish extreme that only hit on three previous occasions. • 2021: During a bull market that proved to be an excellent re-up for the cycle. • 2022: prematurely, but close to the cycle lows when the market was 70% down. • 2023: Near the SEC-catalyzed capitulation lows, Alts decisively broke higher four months later. Despite a small sample size, this breadth measure hints at upcoming cyclical bottoms and mid-cycle entries. Current data parallels 2021’s mid-cycle slump, not 2022/23’s end.”
