Why is Bitcoin (BTC) down today? (March 28, 2023)

The cryptocurrency market is in decline today. Bitcoin has fallen 3.11% in the last 24 hours. The United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has filed a lawsuit against Binance and Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ). In the lawsuit filed in the District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Binance and CZ are accused of violating trading and derivatives rules. Binance's top management is accused of willful evasion of U.S. laws, including assisting and instructing customers located in the U.S. to evade restrictions. Following this development, CZ has pointed to the spread of intentional FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) with 4 tweets.

Many cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, fell after the CFTC sued the world's largest crypto asset platform in terms of trading volume.
