Changpeng Zhao’s guidelines on how to reverse the crypto crash
Following the recent tweet from Changpeng Zhao (CZ), Binance CEO, to LUNA/UST team detailing some methods on how they should have curbed the market crash for the two coins, BNB started to rally.
In his plan, he noted that there was a need to restore the Terra network, recover the UST peg, and the extra LUNA minted burned, however, he did not receive any positive response from the team.
The CEO tweeted again that he was very disappointed with how the team “handled (or not handled)” the situation.
Binance had to suspend UST and LUNA trading on their platform to protect their customers noting that some traders on Binance were rushing to purchase LUNA following the dip since deposits were not yet forbidden.
Zhao noted that those who rushed to buy LUNA were not aware that they were purchasing newly minted LUNA.
He also said that Binance aims at helping crypto projects that are being affected without criticizing them, but this time they had to break the rule to protect their customers.
