CZ niega los informes de que Binance eliminará los tokens estadounidenses

• Los reguladores estadounidenses están investigando la relación entre Binance y Binance.US.
• Un informe de Reuters afirmó que Binance.US transfirió $400 millones a una empresa dirigida por Changpeng Zhao.

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 buscando en el intercambio por posibles violaciones de las leyes contra el lavado de dinero de los Estados Unidos.

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 reportado el jueves 16 de febrero, Binance.US transfirió $400 millones a una empresa comercial dirigida por CZ a principios de 2021, reavivando las dudas sobre la autonomía de la empresa estadounidense.

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 podría encontrarse en más problemas con los reguladores estadounidenses si resulta que Binance controla a su contraparte estadounidense.
