Binance Coin (BNB) Price Movement
At the same time, the price of the Binance token has risen by more than 20% over the past two weeks, recovering from a commensurate decline in December. This was done amid fear, uncertainty and doubt about the deal following rumors of prosecution for illegal activities.
The BNB price barely reacted to the news of the massive token burn, but continued to hold a significant level above $295.5 per token. In price action since the beginning of the year, Binance Token has lagged both Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), sparking the idea that FUD continues to put pressure on the token’s market. .
