Binance is now at the center of all things crypto after CEO Changpeng Zhao stepped down after the crypto firm agreed to pay a $4 billion fine to US regulators. This event has triggered outflows from the exchange similar to what happened before the FTX crypto exchange filed for bankruptcy.
Binance Outflows Cross $1 Billion
In less than 24 hours since the Binance CEO announced his departure from the exchange, users have withdrawn over $1 billion in crypto assets from the exchange. Data from DeFiLlama shows that outflows from the exchange quickly crossed $1.1 billion and are now sitting at $1.164 billion at the time of writing.
FTX had seen similar withdrawal trends back in November 2022 when rumors spread that the exchange was secretly illiquid. However, the difference between both exchanges is the fact that Binance has a much larger asset reserve than FTX did at the time.

Even though the $1.164 billion figure is significant, it pales in comparison to Binance’s $67.688 billion in assets. Even when the total value of BNB held, which is a token issued by the crypto exchange, is excluded, Binance’s clean assets come out to $59.156 billion. So less than 2% of Binance’s total assets have been withdrawn in the last 24 hours.
Binance also continues to lead as the largest crypto exchange in the world with spot volumes of over $8.28 billion. The exchange also commands the majority of open interest volume with $9.544 billion in open interest in the 24-hour period.

BNB Takes A Beating
Binance’s native BNB coin has suffered as a result of the exchange’s woes over the last day. Its price initially crashed around 15% when the announcement was made, and continued to trade low. There has been some recovery in the price since then, but it is still seeing some of the biggest losses in the space.

Even though BNB’s trading volume surged more than 50% in one day, sellers proved to be the dominant presence in the market. The sell-offs have pulled the price downward below the 20-day moving average, which can often be a signal for further decline to come.
However, the price does look to be stabilizing after recovering above $230 as bears failed to turn it to resistance. This shows there is still a lot of pushback from bulls, and once the market stabilizes to the new normal, BNB could resume its uptrend.
Richard Teng took over as the new CEO of Binance on Tuesday, and the market is waiting to see what the first order of business will be. A little bit of good news will no doubt go a long way in restoring user faith in the exchange.

How 5G Will Be Launched in Russia: The Digital Ministry's Proposal and the Roadmap to 2035

Russia's Ministry of Digital Development has proposed a plan for launching 5G networks. It allows the "Big Four" mobile operators (Beeline, Megafon, MTS, T2) to deploy 5G on existing 4G/LTE base stations and frequencies, and will allocate them the new 4.63–4.99 GHz band. A key element is "technological neutrality," permitting the use of foreign equipment until September 2026. The new 4.63–4.99 GHz band is intended for more advanced services and industrial applications. However, a phased transition to Russian-made base stations will begin in 2027, with a target of at least 50% domestic equipment by 2030. The rollout timeline aims for 5G in cities with over 1 million people by the end of 2027, expanding to 84 cities by 2035. Initial "5G Ready" service, operating over existing infrastructure, will offer minimal speed improvements. Significant speed gains (4-10x over LTE) will require the new band and corresponding equipment. The plan addresses long-standing regulatory delays, including the military's hold on the global standard 3.4–3.8 GHz band. This forced Russia to adopt the 4.63–4.99 GHz range, overlapping with a Chinese band, making Chinese equipment a potential transitional solution. The success of the rollout will depend on equipment supply and the pace of production localization, while a challenge lies in smartphone compatibility with this non-standard frequency band.

The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas Announces a Colossal $700 Billion Allocation! How Will This Affect Bitcoin?

The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas warns that the growing adoption of tokenized deposits in the banking sector could pose unforeseen risks to the financial system. Tokenized deposits, which transfer traditional bank deposits to blockchain infrastructure, offer features like instant settlement and programmable payments. While issued by regulated banks and maintaining deposit characteristics, they could enable customers to move funds between banks much faster in search of higher yields. This would significantly weaken banks' liquidity management and lending capacity. The Fed's analysis estimates that an increase in deposit interest rate sensitivity by 10% could reduce the interest rate risk banks can bear by approximately $700 billion over ten years. Similarly, a 10% shortening of the average deposit maturity could reduce the banking system's capacity to convert deposits into loans by about $580 billion. This acceleration of deposit movement could force banks to rely on more expensive wholesale funding, increasing borrowing costs for consumers and businesses and potentially making traditional banks resemble non-bank financial institutions. While the report does not directly address Bitcoin, the described shifts could have long-term implications. Firstly, the tokenization of deposits by banks could promote institutional adoption of blockchain-based financial infrastructure, indirectly legitimizing digital asset classes like Bitcoin. Secondly, faster-moving deposits and resulting higher funding costs could increase the price of liquidity in the financial system. This could create near-term headwinds for risk assets, including Bitcoin, due to tighter financial conditions and potential selling pressure. The report concludes that widespread adoption of this technology could impact many areas, from payment systems to monetary policy transmission mechanisms.

Inflows were also recorded for Solana, XRP, and other crypto ETFs. Despite this sustained institutional demand, Bitcoin's price briefly surpassed $80,000 before falling to around $78,447, and Ethereum traded near $2,462. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index dipped but remained in "Greed" territory.

Decrease in XRP Ledger Transaction Count Coincides with a 521% Increase in Volume

The volume of payments on the XRP Ledger has surged by 521.1%, coinciding with a broader improvement in the cryptocurrency sector. Currently, the payment volume stands at 488.4 million XRP. However, it's crucial to note that while payment volume spiked, the number of payment transactions actually decreased by 10.5% to 388,900. This divergence indicates a significant increase in the average transaction size, suggesting activity from larger holders. Other metrics confirm increased activity: new accounts grew by 5.3% to around 1,800, and active users surged by 179.7% to approximately 485,700. Transaction fees in XRP increased by 16.1%, though the number of active accounts slightly decreased by 0.7% to 11,300. Regarding price, the XRP token is holding above the long-term moving average near $1.35. Consolidation above this level could help maintain the breakout structure. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) briefly rose above 80 before retreating to 70.5. While the 521% volume increase is notable, it does not equate to a sixfold rise in network usage. The pattern of fewer but larger transactions points to significant movement by major holders.

Blockchain Could Deprive U.S. Banks of $700 Billion in Lending Potential

The adoption of blockchain technology and tokenized deposits by traditional banks poses a significant threat to their lending capacity, potentially costing the U.S. financial system hundreds of billions of dollars in lost liquidity. A Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas report from August 2026 warns that this shift could fundamentally undermine the core banking model of maturity transformation, where banks use short-term deposits to fund long-term loans like mortgages. Tokenization increases depositors' rate sensitivity and enables instant, 24/7 fund transfers, which could lead to faster capital flight. The report estimates that a 10% increase in rate sensitivity could reduce U.S. banks' lending potential by $700 billion, while a 10% faster deposit outflow could drain another $580 billion. This forces banks to hold more low-yield, high-quality liquid assets (like cash reserves and U.S. Treasuries) to manage instant withdrawal risks, thereby diverting funds away from lending to businesses and households. The conclusion is that replicating crypto benefits such as speed and programmability without altering centralized banking's fundamental structure creates systemic contradictions, giving customers a crypto-like experience while depriving banks of their primary profit mechanism based on locking in customer funds.
