Binance CEO Richard Teng attributes Bitcoin’s recent 35% slide to a broader risk-off deleveraging across asset classes, saying the cryptocurrency's volatility mirrors moves in stocks, bonds and commodities rather than being an isolated event.

The episode explores the ongoing debate over Bitcoin’s correlation with traditional markets, discusses investor implications, and highlights differing views on Bitcoin’s long-term prospects as blockchain adoption grows.

Overall, Teng urges calm—framing the decline as a market correction and a reminder for investors to research, manage risk and stay disciplined amid volatility.
