Crypto Twitter reacts to Binance CEO’s deleted tweet about Coinbase’s Bitcoin Holdings By Cointelegraph

Coinbase (NASDAQ:) was trending on Twitter on Nov. 22 after Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, known also as CZ, sent out a tweet that appeared to question Coinbase’s holdings.

In the since deleted tweet, CZ referenced a yahoo finance article that alleged that “Coinbase Custody holds 635,000 BTC on behalf of Grayscale.” CZ added, “4 months ago, Coinbase (I assume exchange) has less than 600K,” with a link to a 4 month old article from Bitcoinist. The Binance CEO made it clear that he was simply quoting “news reports”, and not making any claims of his own. However, his tweet was not received well by the crypto community.
