How safe is BSC (bep20) chain? Is it okay to store a large amount of BTC and USDT on that chain? If Binance shutdown will the chain still operate normally?
Bitcoin only runs on its native blockchain and any token that you see as Bitcoin in other network whether it's ethereum, BNB are just wrapped tokens that promises to have pegged to actual Bitcoin but we never know whether they are actually pegged or just printing out of nowhere.
To answer your question, the blockchain is just a platform that let projects to run on their network so the reliability of a token doesn't rely on the chains, it depends on the projects itself.
