🔶 #Binance converted #USDC into #BTC and ETH after the collapse of Silvergate Bank
According to information from reserve audits, the exchange purchased around 100,000 BTC and 550,000 ETH between March 12th and May 1st, amounting to approximately 3.5 billion USDC. Binance had an excess of 3.5 billion USDC, but this decreased to 24 million.
Interestingly, during this time, Bitcoin surged from $23,000 to $31,000, and Ethereum from $1,400 to $2,100. This happened precisely after the Silvergate collapse and when Binance was making its purchases.
As Binance sold only part of its investments afterwards, the $25,000 range is now an area of strong buyer interest, and the exchange will try hard to prevent the price from dropping below it. This is yet another reason for buying in the event of a correction.
