Notably, Wintermute deposited over $700 million in Binance hot wallet before the crash. The market maker founder itself at the center of growing controversy amid allegations of market manipulation again.

CZ pointed out lots of FUD in the crypto market currently. He added, “People are in pain, jittery, and anxious. Whales are pouncing on it, spreading more FUD, and cashing in on it.” He urges people to learn to verify and check with official sources.
