Binance denies issuing legal threats in response to bankruptcy rumors

PANews reported on February 5th that, according to The Block, Binance has denied allegations made by social media user Lewsiphur that he received a restraining order from Binance, along with attached documents, calling the document forged. Lewsiphur had previously claimed on social media that Binance was insolvent and warned that this could have a more severe impact on the market than the FTX crash.

Binance's official customer support account responded, stating, "This letter did not originate from Binance; it is an imaginative forgery." Although the document requested Lewsiphur to delete the post by 5 PM Eastern Time, the post had not been removed as of press time.

Recent rumors about Binance's potential bankruptcy have persisted, with some users linking it to the market crash of October 2025. Binance has repeatedly denied any involvement, and former CEO Changpeng Zhao stated in a public Q&A that the allegations are "completely unfounded."

Furthermore, some community users, due to distrust of exchanges, launched a campaign to withdraw funds from Binance to self-custodied wallets. In response, Binance co-founder Yi He stated that regularly withdrawing funds from the exchange is an effective stress test, and pointed out that the amount of assets in Binance addresses has actually increased since the campaign began.
