❗ It’s important to note no charges had been filed against crypto exchange Binance or Binance.US.

❗ Is this the reason the global crypto market is down? CoinDesk feels that the price of bitcoin (BTC) and Binance’s BNB token immediately fell following the report by Semafor https://lnkd.in/dmSCgBdQ

- Is a threat on Exchange Run a good enough reason not to file charges?
