Changpeng Zhao of Binance, recently <a href="https://news.todayq.com/cz-resigns-as-binance-ceo-in-4-billion-settlement-with-u-s-doj/">stepped down</a> from his leadership role as part of a comprehensive agreement reached with the US Justice Department. This deal has compelled Binance to admit to criminal charges and agreeing to a huge $4.3 billion fine. It has effectively concluded a lengthy investigation into the operations of the world’s largest crypto exchange. Altcoins bear the brunt, Bitcoin and Ether display resilience 
The repercussions of Binance’s shaking announcement are felt across the cryptocurrency market, with Binance’s native token, <a href="https://news.todayq.com/report-binance-to-settle-for-4-billion-with-u-s-doj-bnb-up-8/">BNB</a>, taking a significant hit. 
BNB, used on both the Binance exchange and the BNB Chain blockchain, experienced a notable 6.3% decline, sliding to $237.48. This downturn echoed throughout the altcoin space, with Solana and Polygon witnessing respective drops of 6% and 8%. 
The immediate aftermath saw a notable decrease in liquidity, with a 40% drop initially reported. However, Riyad Carey, a research analyst at Kaiko claims that signs of normalizing liquidity have emerged within the past hour. It indicates a potential stabilization in the turbulent market. 
Adding to the complexity, data tracker Nansen reports users pulling funds from Binance, underscoring the community’s unease in response to these transformative developments. 
Intriguingly, amid the market turmoil, Bitcoin and Ether, the crypto jewels, experienced comparatively lower declines. Their resilience in the face of uncertainty raises questions about the broader implications for the crypto industry.
