Panic ensued on cryptocurrency markets after a “fake news” regarding Binance delisting Tether (USDT) from their platform vent viral on social media.

The markets reacted positively following the fake news. People converted USDT for popular cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple. Bitcoin was up by 7% on Monday morning 8 AM trading close to $7,000. It has since then dropped in value and is currently trading at $6659.

Binance’s founder Chang Peng Zhao took to Twitter to clear the FUD. He stated that the image being shared is fake news and Binance has no such plans of delisting cryptocurrencies. As a matter of fact, he just retweeted a tweet shared by Boxmining stating the Binance delisting is a fake news.

Tether price took an instant hit and hasn’t recovered since then. Tether is currently trading at $0.958, a 4.2% drop in value from its actual value. The lowest Tether went is on Bittrex for USDT/USD pair trading at $0.91. Tether price has remained unaffected on Bitfinex, the company responsible for the creation of Tether.
