The news of Binance's billionaire founder, Changpeng Zhao, being sentenced to four months in prison after pleading guilty to charges of enabling money laundering at his crypto exchange could potentially trigger a selloff in BNB.
This development raises concerns about the governance and regulatory compliance within the exchange, which may lead investors to reassess the risks associated with holding BNB.
Uncertainties surrounding the impact of Zhao's absence on Binance's operations and future prospects could further contribute to downward pressure on BNB prices in the near term.
My price targets are: $510, $425 and $315.
