As a result, the BTC price lost over $1400 in minutes.

  • According to a CNBC report, CZ – the CEO of Binance – is being sued by the CFTC for allegedly violating trading regulations.
  • The court filing stipulates that the exchange has taken a “calculated approach to solicit US customers in violation of federal regulations.”
  • CZ and his former compliance officer Samuel Lim have allegedly “actively cultivated lucrative and commercially important VIP customers, including institutional customers, located in the United States.”
  • As a result, the price of BTC has plunged by more than $1400 before recovering slightly to where it trades at the time of this writing.
