Whales Buying The Dip Amid Binance Crackdown By SEC; Analyst Predicts Bitcoin ATH in 2023

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) lawsuit against the world’s largest crypto exchange Binance and CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao fails to bring massive liquidations or outflow as expected. Bitcoin price is merely down to $25800 from $26800, while Ethereum price maintains above $1800.

The SEC didn’t just bring pullback in the crypto market, but it impacted stock markets too as crypto and bitcoin mining stocks, Coinbase, MicroStrategy, Robinhood Markets, as well as banking stocks were down.
