DoJ Purportedly Contemplates Filing Fraud Charges Against Binance, Egorov Sells More CRV tokens OTC

Aug 3, 2023

Equities and bond markets have extended recent losses from increased borrowing by the US. ^SPX 0.40%  and QQQ 0.80%  retraced by 0.3% and 0.2%, respectively, while the US10Y edges close to November highs at 4.2%. Apart from increased issuance in longer-term treasuries, the rise in bond yields have also been spurred by America’s credit downgrade and a decline in corporate profits. BTC and ETH have experienced slight gains from yesterday’s bearish daily engulfing, up by 0.5% and 0.2%, respectively. CRV, after sliding from from $0.70 to $0.48 on Monday, is currently trading at $0.59. The volatile price action has seen $7m in long and $4m in short liquidations since, and current open interest is $118m on $515m market cap. As funding rates are largely flat from -251% annualized on Monday, any push down would likely arise due to spot selling.
