Bitcoin’s price tumbled after the SEC announced a slew of charges against Binance, the world’s latest cryptocurrency exchange, and its founder.

  • The SEC called Binance’s operation “an extensive web of deception”
  • At writing, 1 bitcoin cost about $25,700 – a 5% decline since the news broke
  • We remain long Bitcoin and bullish on its long-term usefulness
