Massive BNB Selling Amid Binance FUD, Where Is It Heading?

Binance BNB Coin News: Following the recent drop in BNB coin price, there is an increased sense of short selling in the community. The recent news of auditing firm Mazars cutting ties with the crypto exchange appears to have a prolonged bearing on the BNB price. Meanwhile, the overall sentiment in the crypto market continues to be bearish following the Fed’s indication of a continued rate hike in 2023. In this context, the Binance BNB short selling activity seems to have picked up in recent days.

The trader community believes that Binance is not fully transparent about the way in which it holds and stores user assets. This led a sharp drop in the BNB price. The whole criticism around the exchange’s assets began after it published the audit report on Binance proof of reserves.
