• Casa CEO Nick Neuman has asked customers to withdraw their funds from Binance, citing abnormalities.  
• Neuman shared an email to Casa wallet customers, detailing a chronology of calamities that befell the exchange.
• The communication may have been plain FUD and a marketing strategy in favor of his own wallet offering.  
• The discussion has culminated in the importance of cold storage over keeping your assets on exchanges.

Nick Neuman, CEO of the Casa crypto wallet, has raised speculation of trouble at Binance, urging customers to withdraw their funds swiftly. Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has made headlines multiple times this year, caught in the crosshairs of multiple attacks by both regulatory bodies and the authorities.

Nick Neuman says withdraw from Binance now, is it FUD?

Nick Neuman has sounded what could be an alarm to customers, asking them to swiftly withdraw funds from Binance exchange, citing a series of unusual activities involving the platform. The CEO sent an email to customers, detailing a list of transgressions that Binance has been associated with since early in the year.

Neuman also hinted at “abnormal” activities in the Binance ecosystem, urging users to act now lest they suffer in the wake of calamities that have befallen crypto trading platforms in the past. In his words:

We cannot speculate about anything that is happening at Binance. We would love to believe everything and that funds are safe. However, we can tell you what we are hearing about Binance is abnormal. When it comes to exchanges, you do not wait around to find out whether there is fire behind all that smoke.

The post reiterates the importance of self-storage, putting your crypto in cold wallets as opposed to storing your holdings on exchanges.

Nevertheless, it is impossible to forget about how Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) has been active in fighting fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD). CZ has even made a name for himself with his signature “4” to dispel and quell concerns about this demeanor.

As Neuman listed, the exchange has suffered many reports, from ones relating to a clampdown by regulators to law violation, alleged fraud, employee retrenchment, and closing shop in different jurisdictions. Regardless, Binance has continued to hold onto its forte, still boasting the largest trading volume in the market today.

If Neuman’s speculation is not true, then it could be dismissed as another FUD shot targeted against Binance. To some, however, the announcement could be a calculated business plan to draw users to the Casa wallet for storage of their cryptocurrencies.
