In a memo sent to his staff, Changpeng Zhao highlighted that with the recent wave of bankruptcies, the crypto industry is going through a historic moment. Still, he maintains that Binance is in a good financial position and “will survive any crypto winter.”
The Binance boss expects “the next several months to be bumpy, we will get past this challenging period – and we’ll be stronger for having been through it.” The memo comes amidst a sustained wave of withdrawals on Binance.
According to data from the crypto analysis platform Nansen, Binance recorded over $3 billion in net outflows. According to Nansen, the jitters on Binance were worsened by the huge sums withdrawn by Jump, a large market maker.
The massive outflow of crypto, which is the highest recorded in the last six months, on Binance was sponsored by FUD — or fear, uncertainty, and doubt — within the crypto ecosystem.
The withdrawals came amidst discussions of a possible bank run on Binance sponsored by concerns regarding the trading platform’s reserves. The large withdrawals also forced Binance to halt withdrawals on USD Coin (USDC) pairs.

As Binance is the largest crypto exchange, CZ is doing all he can to reassure customers that it will not go through an FTX-like incident.
