Binance USD (BUSD) has suffered a significant loss of about 43% of its market cap value in the last 3 weeks following a regulatory crackdown by U.S. authorities. BUSD is a popular token issued by the Paxos Trust Company, and it serves as the native stablecoin of the Binance exchange. On Feb. 13, 2023, news broke out on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issuing a Wells Notice to Paxos stating its ongoing deliberation to file a lawsuit against the blockchain infrastructure company on the basis of potential violations of investor protection laws. According to the SEC, Paxos is found wanting for issuing the BUSD token, which the commission considers an unregistered security and that it should be registered under the federal securities law.\u00a0 A day after the news of the SEC\u2019s potential lawsuit against the company, the New York District of Financial Services (NYDFS) issued a statement directing Paxos to stop the issuance of Binance USD, leading to a significant fall in the token\u2019s circulating supply and its market cap value.\u00a0 Data from Coingecko shows the total market share value of BUSD has declined from around $16.13 billion in the second week of February to its current value of $9.63 billion.\u00a0 BUSD total market cap falls to $10 billion | Source: BUSD Total Market Cap on TradingView.com This devastating decline has led to the stablecoin falling to 10th place among the largest cryptocurrencies by market cap, with Dogecoin (DOGE), Cardano (ADA), and Polygon (MATIC) all getting ahead.
