CZ Cools the FUD, Responds to Gaevoy
As CoinGape reported earlier, the crypto community primarily blamed Binance, Wintermute, and US President Donald Trump for the massive crash. A flaw in Binance’s Unified Account margin system caused USDe, wBETH, and BNSOL to depeg, triggering massive liquidations, including those of major market makers.
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.
X user named WhalePump Reborn spread rumors that Wintermute signed an NDA with Binance seeking compensation and threatening to sue the crypto exchange. Wintermute CEO responded to WhalePump Reborn and denied plans to sue or any negotiation with the crypto exchange.
