Binance’s Bitcoin Buy Sparks Comparisons to Central Bank Intervention

[lingriiddd]

Binance’s $100 million Bitcoin purchase is fueling comparisons to central bank-style market intervention as crypto markets struggle with volatility.

Analysts note that the SAFU conversion mechanism closely mirrors how traditional financial institutions deploy reserves to stabilize confidence during periods of stress. Under SAFU’s rules, the fund is continuously monitored, and if Bitcoin price declines push its value below a set threshold, Binance must buy additional BTC to restore balance.

With $900 million still left to deploy, some market watchers believe Binance is effectively committing to sustained dip-buying. That dynamic could create a soft price backstop during sharp drawdowns — even without any explicit coordination or public commitment to defend specific price levels.
