🍿 Changpeng Zhao responded to the main FUD stories of recent days surrounding CZ and Binance:
1️⃣ “Secret Polymarket bet”. The bet that someone will throw an object at CZ's face at a crypto event in 2026 with a volume of $7 million is fake. No such market exists on Polymarket or anywhere else. The stated volume does not exist.
2️⃣ “CZ canceled the supercycle”. CZ only said that he is now less confident in the supercycle than before. There were no statements about the "end of the supercycle" — these are interpretations by Twitter users.
3️⃣ “Binance sold $1 billion in BTC”. Incorrect. BTC was sold by Binance users, not the exchange. Binance wallet balances change due to user withdrawals, while most funds continue to be stored on the platform.
4️⃣ “SAFU fund is not buying BTC”. Binance previously announced that it would convert $1 billion from stablecoins to BTC within 30 days as part of the SAFU fund. Purchases are made through CEX, and the transfer of funds may be closer to the end of the period. At the same time, $1 billion against the backdrop of BTC's capitalization ($1.7 trillion) is more of a symbolic signal to the market than a price-influencing factor.

By net profit, Tether already surpasses BlackRock and any bank, with a staff hundreds of times smaller, which makes talk of the company being a "scam" unrealistic.

📊 Bitcoin became less volatile than gold — Bloomberg
Gold's 30-day volatility exceeded 44%, which is the highest since the 2008 crisis, while for BTC this figure is about 39%.
In one day, gold lost about 10% (from ~$5600 to ~$4400) — the sharpest drop in over ten years, which calls into question its status as a "safe-haven asset," despite BTC's correction of approximately 40% from its peak.
