Bitcoin (BTC) remains under pressure after a brutal selloff that wiped tens of thousands of dollars from its price over the past several months, but Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ), is urging investors not to overreact. The former Binance CEO shared a brief message on X as Bitcoin continues searching for support and traders debate whether the market has finally found a bottom. His comments come as institutional flows remain weak and large holders continue reducing exposure.

CZ Urges Calm as Bitcoin Struggles

On June 9, CZ posted a short message aimed at investors worried about Bitcoin’s recent decline. The message reads:

“Bitcoin won’t be ‘dead’ for too long. Don’t panic, in large friendly letters.”

The post quickly gained traction across the crypto community, drawing millions of views within hours.

Indeed, Bitcoin has faced heavy selling pressure in recent months, falling significantly from its late-2025 highs. Though sentiment remains fragile, CZ’s comments suggest he views the current downturn as another temporary phase in Bitcoin’s long history of boom-and-bust cycles instead of a fundamental threat to the asset.

His remarks carry weight given his status as one of the most recognizable figures in crypto and the former head of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange.

Whales Continue Selling as Retail Buys

Despite CZ’s optimism, several market indicators suggest traders remain divided on where Bitcoin heads next.

According to recent analysis from Wintermute, much of the selling pressure has been driven by institutional investors reducing exposure amid continued spot Bitcoin ETF outflows. Analysts argued that capital hasn’t yet returned to the market in a meaningful way, which makes it difficult to confidently identify a long-term bottom.

At the same time, on-chain data from Santiment has shown a growing divergence between retail and larger investors.

Smaller wallets have continued accumulating Bitcoin during the downturn, whereas larger holders have been trimming positions. Historically, major market bottoms often occur after retail investors lose confidence rather than actively buying dips, which is why some analysts to argue that the current setup doesn’t yet resemble previous cycle lows.

Macro conditions have added further uncertainty. Stronger-than-expected U.S. economic data has reduced expectations for near-term Federal Reserve rate cuts, a development that typically pressures risk assets such as cryptocurrencies.

Even so, some long-term investors continue to view current prices as attractive from a multi-year perspective.

At press time on June 10, BTC was trading at the price of $61,282.06, which indicates a 2.7% decline on the day, a drop of 8.7% across the past week, and an accumulated loss of 24% over the month, according to the most recent chart information.

For now, CZ’s message stands in sharp contrast to the growing caution among many analysts. Whether Bitcoin has already found its floor or faces further downside remains one of the biggest questions in the market, but the Binance founder appears convinced that reports of Bitcoin’s death are once again being exaggerated.
