The world’s biggest crypto exchange by trading volume, Binance, has come under the media spotlight following the collapse of former rival crypto exchange FTX under the leadership of Sam Bankman-Fried, also known as SBF in the crypto space. Interestingly, a report claims that the leading exchange tried to hire the current Chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Gary Genslar, in 2018 but was unable to do so. 

Laut a Bericht vom Wall Street Journal (WSJ) wandte sich Binance an Genslar, der auch ehemaliger Vorsitzender der Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) ist, während er 2018 und 2019 am Massachusetts Institute of Technology lehrte. Der zitierte Bericht des WSJ Nachrichten und Dokumente aus den Jahren 2018 und 2020 sowie Interviews mit ehemaligen Mitarbeitern als Quelle für die Informationen. 

Additionally, the report also claims that Genslar met with Ella Zhang, then head of Binance’s venture investing arm, and Harry Zhou, co-founder of Binance-invested firm Koi Trading, in October 2018 regarding the exchange’s offer. However, the SEC chair declined their offers. In a chat, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, also known as CZ in the crypto space, wrote: 

“I observe that while Gensler declined advisor-ship, he was generous in sharing license strategies.”

As per a Binance employee, Gensler would be “likely back in a regulator seat if Dems win the 2020 election.” Interestingly, a second meeting between Genslar and Zhao took place in March 2019 in Tokyo. Finally, in April 2021, Genslar became the SEC Chair after declining several offers by companies regarding an advisory position during his time as an MIT professor. 

The report also highlighted the relationship between Binance and the exchange’s US subsidiary, Binance.US. WSJ claims that the executives at the exchange took several steps to mitigate the risks associated with the US arm after they realized that regulators might step in to tame the industry. One of the steps was the creation of a US entity so that any regulatory oversight might be subjected to Binance.US and the parent entity would remain secure from any trouble. 

The report claims that in a report called “Insulate Binance from US Enforcement,” the exchange decided that it would have only a “purely contractual” relationship with the US arm to prevent a US regulatory crackdown, positioning the US arm as a separate operation. A spokesperson from the exchange told CoinTelegraph: 

“When Binance.US was founded, there was an agreement with the Binance.com tech team to build out the tech infrastructure and provide other forms of support for the new US-regulated exchange. […] It was a white label service that supported other exchanges. That is why you’re seeing these old communications between members of the two organizations.”

The exchange further noted that “while growing at such a rapid pace, we made some initial missteps which have now been rectified. Following a massive investment in compliance talent, processes, and technology over the past two years, we are a very different company today when it comes to compliance.”

Wie bereits von Bitnation berichtet, hat die führende Börse kürzlich erklärt, dass sie keine Entlassungen plant, und damit solche Gerüchte zunichte gemacht. Ein Beamter bestätigte, dass die Börse für fast 500 Stellen einstellt, und bestätigte dies Sie müssen in der ersten Hälfte des Jahres 2023 ausgefüllt werden. Furthermore, three United States senators, led by Elizabeth Warren, have sent a letter to CZ and Binance.US CEO Brian Shroder expressed his concerns regarding the companies’ activities.
