Binance przyznaje się do wcześniejszych zmagań z BUSD Peg
- Rzecznik Binance twierdzi, że firma rozwiązała usterkę systemową i nie miała wpływu na wykup dla użytkowników.
- Binance stał się prawdopodobnym celem organów regulacyjnych, będąc największą platformą kryptograficzną pod względem udziału w rynku.
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.
Według Bloomberga raport, 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.”
Według rzecznika 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.
Stablecoiny mają na celu wzbudzenie zaufania i stabilności na nieprzewidywalnym rynku kryptograficznym. Zwykłe tokeny mogą ulec zmianie, ale firmy takie jak Binance przedstawiają stablecoiny jako lepszą alternatywę, wiążąc ich wartość ze stabilnymi aktywami, takimi jak dolar.
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.
Dyrektor generalny Binance, Changpeng Zhao, ostrzegł już pracowników, aby przygotowali się na nadchodzące trudne miesiące, ponieważ nowa polityka ma zagrozić giełdzie.
