Binance (BNB/USD) initiates a mini breakout

• Binance coin has pushed above $295

• Crypto critic Roubini has accused a “shady” Binance

• The cryptocurrency could hit $330 soon, and $360 next

Binance (BNB/USD) pushed above $295, setting the cryptocurrency on the course above $300. The area around $295 has been a minor resistance zone, although BNB has since fallen back to $292. Investors would be curious whether the current slowdown is a correction back, with a price of $330 in sight. But then, Binance has also come under sharp criticism.

Renowned crypto critic Nouriel Roubini thinks the Binance crypto exchange is the same as collapsed FTX. He says Binance is “much worse and shady.” Roubini, nicknamed “Mr. Doom,” accurately predicted the 2008-2009 financial crisis. Thus, his words may have weight in some quarters. 

Roubini opines that Binance has never revealed its head office. In his view, BNB is an even more dangerous investment than FTT, given that FTX already had a known head office in the Bahamas. Describing BNB as the “same scammy vaporware,” Roubini warns that 87% of the cryptocurrency is hidden in a single wallet. He has also raised questions about the control of crypto stashes of Binance.

Further, Roubini has raised concerns over Binance’s audit. He says that the exchange is audited by the same entity as FTX. The economist believes Binance may not have any audits. Roubini points out that recent calls for crypto reserves by Binance CEO are just gimmicks. He warns that Binance customers will lose their money for good.

Amid the harsh words, Binance has shown resilience. A potential recovery of BNB could be underway amid the intra-day correction.
