Binance Coin (BNB/USD), emerges one of the biggest losers among the top 20 digital currencies traded so far this Saturday, having shed over 6% during the last 24 hours. The bears retain control amid reports that Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has warned users it’s investigating an alleged leak of verification data, as cited by Forbes.
However, Binance's widely respected Chief Executive Changpeng Zhao, often known as CZ, played down the "leak," suggesting it is an attempt to damage Binance and other crypto businesses.
Despite the conciliatory remarks by CZ, the sentiment around the coin remains bearish in the near-term, as reflected by the technical chart.
