Last night, at the same time as Changpeng Zhao, the former CEO of Binance, resigned and admitted to committing some crimes, as well as the exchange's agreeme to pay an unprecedeed fine of 4.3 billion dollars to American agencies, a shock was se to the digital currency market, which resulted in a drop in the price of BNB.

Some analysts believe that what happened to Zhao and Binance could somehow increase the likelihood that cash-based cryptocurrency ETFs will be approved in the United States in the coming mohs. For example, the Matrixport group, which works in the field of providing services related to digital currencies, said:
With this agreeme (between Binance and the US agencies), expectations for the approval of Bitcoin Cash ETFs have increased to 100%, as industry players will now have to follow the same regulations as traditional financial companies. are. Most importaly, covering up the flaws in this space will also boost Bitcoin's acceptance among large institutional investors and will likely be recognized as a safe haven asset in investors' portfolios.
Alex Krüger, an expert in economic affairs, also called this eve positive for the market in a tweet and said:
Binance's activities will now be scrutinized by an independe watchdog. This increases the chances of ETFs being approved. I am waiting for the market to show its agreeme that this is a bullish eve.
