Binance exchange coin BNB is witnessing a deep decline, partly due to the ongoing legal battle and partly due to the recent actions of a whale.

15 minutes ago, there was a large transfer of BNB to Binance, causing the price of this coin to drop to $224. This puts Binance’s token in jeopardy as it’s in the midst of an intense legal battle.

Not only has BNB been denounced by the SEC as an unregistered security, but it is also being directly affected by the regulator’s intense lawsuit against Binance and its chief executive officer, Changpeng Zhao (CZ). In addition, many speculated that the situation of Binance could be more tense when the US Department of Justice could investigate and prosecute criminally due to fraud allegations from the SEC.

Although Binance and CZ have constantly reassured the community that the exchange has continuously operated on the principles of legal compliance and transparency with respect to customer funds, in the face of a powerful agency like the SEC, most of the time, community psychology is still shaken.

According to DefiLlama estimates, this loan will be liquidated when BNB reaches a price of about $219.32, equivalent to $200 million of BNB sold on the market. At the current price, it is only a few steps away from reaching the liquidation threshold.
