Coinbase ha cancellato BUSD dalla quotazione a causa di problemi di liquidità
- Coinbase ha quotato BUSD lo scorso aprile.
- Paxos Trust gestisce BUSD dal 2019 e recentemente gli è stato ordinato di interrompere il conio della stablecoin.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has offered a deeper explanation of the exchange’s decision to delist the Binance USD (BUSD) stablecoin. Armstrong spoke on BloombergTV on Wednesday morning and explained that Coinbase had concerns about BUSD’s liquidity. Coinbase previously stated that delisting BUSD was because the stablecoin did not meet its listing standards as determined by its own internal monitoring and review procedures.
Parlando con Bloomberg, Armstrong ha spiegato,
Il motivo per cui l'abbiamo fatto è che a Paxos, l'emittente di BUSD, era stato ordinato di interrompere il conio, quindi eravamo preoccupati per i problemi di liquidità per i nostri clienti.
The New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) recently ordered Paxos to stop minting the BUSD stablecoin, citing complications in Paxos and Binance’s relationship. The Securities and Exchange Commission was also set to sue Paxos for selling an unregistered security.
Data from CoinGecko shows that BUSD is the third-largest stablecoin by market capitalization with a total value of almost $10 billion, only below USDT and USDC stablecoins. Paxos Trust has been operating BUSD since its launch in 2019.
È interessante notare che Coinbase ha quotato BUSD solo lo scorso aprile. I migliori scambi come Coinbase elencano diverse stablecoin per offrire ai clienti una varietà di coppie di trading rispetto ad altre criptovalute. I clienti occasionalmente scambiano una stablecoin con un'altra. Inoltre, elencare più token offre ridondanza nel caso in cui un token perda reputazione o credibilità. Quindi, il recente divieto di coniare BUSD potrebbe vedere più scambi delisting della stablecoin.
Timothy Cradle, Director of Regulatory Affairs at Blockchain Intelligence Group, sees Coinbase’s decision to halt BUSD trading as an effort to evade regulators who would claim the exchange allowed the trading of unregulated securities.
Cradle ha detto in una recente intervista,
They’re probably coming to the same conclusion that I think most rational people would come to. This is going to end in a settlement, the cease-and-desist [order] is going to be somewhat permanent, and Paxos would have to register with the SEC to re-launch the coin.
Cradle also claimed that exchanges adopted similar measures in 2020 following the SEC’s XRP dispute with Ripple. At the time, top exchanges, including Coinbase, temporarily suspended trading XRP due to the yet-to-be-resolved case between the SEC and Ripple.
