Fair question.

Although, in practice, I don't think they would buy USDC via BUSD, but use their cash reserves for that. The cash reserves correspond (allegedly) 1:1 to BUSD so they would need to burn equivalent amount of BUSD as well. This all means that Binance would always value BUSD at 1 USD. I don't see a scenario where BUSD falls to 0.5usd if there are no shenanigans happening with the cash reserves.
