CZ bestreitet Berichte, dass Binance US-Token von der Liste nehmen wird
- US-Aufsichtsbehörden untersuchen die Beziehung zwischen Binance und Binance.US.
- Ein Reuters-Bericht behauptete, dass Binance.US $400 Millionen an eine von Changpeng Zhao geführte Firma überwiesen habe.
Binance CEO and founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao has denied reports about the crypto exchange delisting all crypto tokens from the United States. Binance has faced increased scrutiny from regulators in the US in recent weeks, and a Bloomberg report claimed the exchange was set to part ways with its US partners.
Citing an unnamed source, Bloomberg wrote that Binance is “looking at whether to sever ties with intermediary firms such as banks and services firms and is reassessing venture-capital investments in the US.” The report suggested that Binance might delist tokens such as Circle’s USD coin.
Changpeng Zhao labeled such reports “false,” and when a follower asked what a “U.S.-based token” was, the Binance boss remarked that “blockchain has no borders.” CZ later explained that Binance “pulled back on some potential investments or bids on bankrupt companies in the US for now.”
CZ recently tweeted that Binance planned to review projects in line with “ongoing regulatory uncertainty […] to ensure our users are insulated from any undue harm.” Earlier this week, news broke that Binance would possibly pay fines to resolve SEC investigations. Both the regulatory agency and the Justice Department are in den Austausch schauen wegen möglicher Verstöße gegen US-Geldwäschegesetze.
Although Binance doesn’t offer services to Americans, the exchange has a sister company, Binance.US, which it claims operates independently. However, recent events have raised doubts about such claims. Reuters gemeldet am Donnerstag, dem 16. Februar, dass Binance.US Anfang 2021 $400 Millionen an eine von CZ geführte Handelsfirma überwies, was erneut Fragen zur Autonomie des amerikanischen Unternehmens aufwirft.
Reuters claims that Catherine Coley, the then CEO of Binance US, said the transactions were “unexpected” and demanded an explanation. Coley resigned from her position as CEO a few months later. Interestingly, Brian Brooks also left his role as Binance.US CEO a few months into the job, blaming a lack of independence from CZ.
Changpeng Zhao könnte in weitere Schwierigkeiten mit den US-Aufsichtsbehörden geraten, wenn sich herausstellt, dass Binance sein US-Pendant kontrolliert.
