CZ Addresses Market Panic After False Alpha Listing Rumors Trigger Crypto Selloff
- False rumors about Alpha delisting certain tokens sparked widespread fear and market selloffs.
- CZ denied involvement, clarifying he was in Bahrain during the incident.
- The Binance founder criticized misleading headlines that exaggerate institutional actions.
The crypto market saw a sharp downturn today following viral FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) around claims that Alpha, a leading exchange, would stop listing specific cryptocurrencies. The rumor quickly spread across social media, triggering panic selling and steep price drops across multiple assets before being proven false.
CZ Responds to the FUD
Binance founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, currently in Bahrain for meetings and a fireside chat, responded via X, saying he had no involvement in the day’s events. He attributed the selloff to false reports and highlighted the “unfortunate power of FUD” once enough traders believe it. CZ also criticized misleading headlines such as “Binance sold BTC,” arguing that it’s usually “Binance users” making trades—not the company itself.
Industry Reaction
Market analysts described the event as another reminder of crypto’s vulnerability to misinformation and emotional trading. Despite rapid corrections, today’s scare reignited debate about the speed at which social sentiment can move billions in crypto markets.
