PayPal Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:LTC) on its balance sheet.
What Happened: However, not everyone in the cryptocurrency community seems impressed with this disclosure, as Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, popularly called as “CZ,” took to Twitter to express his dissatisfaction.
In a tweet posted on Tuesday, CZ wrote, “While FUD flying everywhere, PayPal did a 4.” In this context, “4” refers to the fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) that often surrounds discussions of cryptocurrency.
CZ has used the term “4” repeatedly in the past, which means “Ignore FUD, fake news, attacks, etc.”
