$3 Billion Pulled Out From Binance at Peak, Nansen Data Shows<\/h2>\n

Binance, the world\u2019s largest crypto exchange by trading volume, saw net outflows reaching $3 billion on Tuesday, Nov. 13, blockchain analytics firm Nansen revealed.

The coin trading platform has been dealing with the effects of a string of negative events in the sector, including the collapse of FTX, a major competitor in the exchange market which filed<\/a> for bankruptcy protection in November. FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried was arrested<\/a> in the Bahamas on charges filed against him in the United States.<\/p>\n

A report by Reuters about an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice into Binance was also a factor in investors\u2019 nervousness, according to Andrew Thurman, content lead for Nansen, who commented on the outflow for CNN. Headlines that prosecutors are considering a money laundering probe also came against a backdrop of speculation<\/a> about Binance\u2019s reserves.<\/p>\n

CZ Acknowledges Withdrawals, Seeks to Downplay Outflow and Calm Down Colleagues<\/h2>\n

In a tweet<\/a> posted on Tuesday, Changpeng Zhao acknowledged the outflow of funds while insisting that Binance has been in similar situations before. \u201cSome days we have net withdrawals; some days we have net deposits. Business as usual for us,\u201d he said, suggesting \u201cit is a good idea to \u2018stress test withdrawals\u2019 on each CEX<\/a> on a rotating basis.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the crypto executive also sought to alleviate concerns about the exchange\u2019s health in a memo addressed to its staff. According to a report by Bloomberg quoting the document, Zhao emphasized that the industry is going through \u201ca historic moment\u201d in which Binance is in a strong financial position and \u201cwill survive any crypto winter.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we expect the next several months to be bumpy, we will get past this challenging period \u2013 and we\u2019ll be stronger for having been through it,\u201d CZ told the Binance team. Referring to the latest developments in the space, he added that the recent collapse of FTX has led to \u201ca lot of extra scrutiny and tough questions\u201d for his exchange.<\/p>\n
