In a tweet, CZ acknowledged that gas prices on the Bitcoin network have been fluctuating, causing transactions to get stuck and fees to increase. He also noted that these are “bull market issues,” and reminded investors that the network is still faster and cheaper than fiat.CZ’s comments come at a time when the <a href="https://blockchainreporter.net/market/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">crypto market</a> has been extremely volatile, with Bitcoin experiencing significant resistance over the weekend. The sudden drop in the price of Bitcoin triggered a market-wide selling in other <a href="https://blockchainreporter.net/altcoins/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">altcoins</a>, with <a href="https://blockchainreporter.net/ethereum-price/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum’s price</a> also falling. Despite the recent market slump, many experts remain bullish about the long-term prospects of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.In addition to commenting on gas prices, CZ also addressed the ongoing FUD about BTC withdrawal issues.

On Sunday, Binance was used to send Bitcoin to other wallets in the form of transactions such as 17,000 and 40,000 BTC.On the other hand, according to Julio, these Bitcoins were delivered to a brand-new wallet address that was also generated by <a href="https://www.binance.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Binance</a>. This address really belongs to the cryptocurrency exchange Binance. The actual outflows are probably at around 10,000 BTC, which is a far smaller amount than the outflow figures displayed on CryptoQuant for Binance.
