Binance remains in focus today after data from Nansen confirmed that its users have already pulled more than $1.0 billion from the crypto exchange in the past 24 hours.

Note that the said data doesn’t even include Bitcoin related outflows.

The news follows Changpeng Zhao pleading guilty to charges of money laundering and stepping down as the Chief Executive of Binance that itself agreed to pay a record-breaking $4.3 billion in fines to settle with the DOJ.

BNB – the native token that Binance holds about $2.8 billion worth of is also down over 8.0% on Wednesday.

The world’s largest crypto exchange has already named Richard Teng its new lead as Invezz reported here. Teng was most recently the global head of regional markets at Binance.

The fundamentals of our business are VERY strong.

Binance continues to operate the world's largest crypto exchange by volume, our capital structure is debt-free, expenses are modest, and, despite the low fees we charge our users, we have robust revenues and profits. https://t.co/PHq2YS0CP5

Binance still has assets worth over $65 billion on its platform, as per the blockchain analysis firm which suggests it has the capital to hold out against the outflows.

Still, Nathan Anderson of Hindenburg Research – an investment firm that focuses on activist short-selling says Binance is heading towards an eventual collapse.

There’s no way Binance has that kind of cash without dipping into customer assets. A year ago, they couldn’t respond to whether they’d survive a $2.1 billion it. The countdown to insolvency has begun.

On the flip side, though, Grzegorz Drozdz of Conotoxia Ltd sees it as potentially a net positive as Binance is now past the regulatory dispute and has committed to enhanced security.
