Binance-CFTC FUD puts BNB price at risk of drop toward $200

BNB (BNB) looks set to wipe out its March gains entirely as investors turn their attention to the latest regulatory crackdown on Binance, the world's leading crypto exchange by volume.

BNB price logs worst daily performance in over a month

On March 27, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission sued Binance and its chief executive Changpeng Zhao (CZ), alleging that the company illegally offered crypto derivatives services to Americans and facilitated illicit financial activity.

BNB's price stabilized on March 28, wobbling between gains and losses as CZ refuted CFTC's allegations. However, the BNB/USD pair risked falling further if one considers its recent response to regulatory actions. 

For instance, the New York regulator's BUSD crackdown in February 2023 preceded a 15%-plus BNB price decline.
