BUSD Market Cap Drops Below $10 Billion

BUSD’s market cap has dropped below $10 billion from its all-time high set at $23.49 billion on Nov. 15, 2022. The value was at $9.66 billion on March 3, 2023, a low that has not been recorded since June 29, 2021 and is the lowest in two years amidst regulatory crackdown from the US authorities and potential delisting from Coinbase.

Coinbase Set To Delist BUSD

Coinbase announced plans to delist Binance USD on March 13, 2023 due to liquidity concerns arising after Paxos was ordered by the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) to cease minting BUSD due to dissonant issues in the Paxos-Binance relationship and a potential lawsuit against Paxos by the Securities and Exchange Commission(SEC) for trading of BUSD as an unregistered security. The suspension will affect simple and advanced trading on Coinbase Pro, Coinbase.com, Coinbase Prime, and Coinbase Exchange but investors can still access their funds and withdraw anytime.

SEC Issue Wells Notice To Paxos

The SEC issued Paxos a Wells notice informing them of possible legal enforcement actions regarding their trading of BUSD as an unregistered security which caused liquidity concerns for Coinbase leading them to suspend trading for it on March 13th 12pm ET; causing the price of Binance coin(BNB)to drop shortly after news was released while Brian Armstrong appeared on Bloomberg TV confirming these allegations against Paxos were true..

US Senators Press For Accountability
