Binance admet avoir eu des difficultés avec le BUSD Peg

• Un porte-parole de Binance affirme que la société a résolu la faille du système et qu'il n'y a eu aucun impact de rachat pour les utilisateurs.
• Binance est devenue une cible probable des régulateurs, étant la plus grande plateforme de cryptographie en termes de part de marché.

Crypto exchange Binance confirmed on Tuesday that it previously had a flaw in its system that left the supply of the BUSD stablecoin undercollateralized by at least $1 billion. BUSD is one of Binance’s popular offerings and is allegedly backed one-to-one by the U.S. dollar.

Selon Bloomberg rapport, the system flaw led BUSD to slip by that huge margin at several points. Binance, however, cited operational delays as the cause of the issue surrounding the de-pegging. A Binance spokesperson claimed the flaw has been resolved and that at “no point were redemptions impacted for users.”

Selon le porte-parole de Binance,

The process of maintaining the peg involves many teams and has not always been flawless, which may have resulted in operational delays in the past. Recently, the process has been much improved with enhanced discrepancy checks to ensure it’s always 1-1 pegged.

New York-based fintech company Paxos oversees the process of BUSD on the Ethereum blockchain, which is completely collateralized by dollars. The BUSD on Binance’s blockchain, Binance Smart Chain, is not subject to the same kind of external, audited firm regulation. Binance says that it maintains full collateralization of its BUSD with Paxos-regulated BUSD to guarantee the authenticity of its BUSD.

Les pièces stables sont conçues pour inspirer confiance et stabilité sur le marché imprévisible de la cryptographie. Les jetons réguliers sont sujets à changement, mais des entreprises comme Binance présentent les pièces stables comme une meilleure alternative en liant leur valeur à des actifs stables comme le dollar.

Binance’s admission comes as the exchange is being heavily criticized by the public for its financial practices. Since FTX declined in November, regulators’ claws have been out for the trading platform. The crypto exchange is arguably the biggest exchange in the world and gained a sizable market share in 2022. Binance’s enormous market share only serves to increase regulators’ interest in it.

Le PDG de Binance, Changpeng Zhao, a déjà averti les employés de se préparer aux mois difficiles à venir, car l'échange devrait être attisé par les nouvelles politiques.
