Binance is the largest exchange, and the lawsuit by the US's SEC would surely affect the crypto space, but this effect is expected to douse over time as this is still an allegation, and it will remain as such until the court delivers its verdict.
Mind you, Binance and CZ might eventually be guilty of most of these allegations, at times some companies operate like gods as if nothing can touch them, but not in the US and other sane countries. If they think they can do and go scot-free as they do with their global branch, then they are jokers.
- In your opinion, is this a consequence of increased pressure on China by the U.S.?
There can't be any consequence in my opinion. The question is whether they are guilty or not. China will not come out and support illegality on another country's soil. Besides, China seems to pretend they are not in support of cryptocurrency, so they are expected to be mute in this regard.
- What will the problems of Binance lead to for crypto market and crypto users?
First, cryptocurrencies must fall due to this ugly news, yet Binance.US is just a branch, a branch smaller than the global brand. This makes me believe that the effect will quickly subside over time, and I don't see it crashing Bitcoin below $20,000, at least, before the court's verdict as we don't know yet how severe the penalty could be.
