CZ опровергает сообщения о том, что Binance исключит из листинга токены США
- Регулирующие органы США расследуют отношения между Binance и Binance.US.
- В сообщении Reuters утверждается, что Binance.US перевела $400 миллионов фирме, которой управляет Чанпэн Чжао.
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 присматриваюсь к обмену за возможные нарушения законов США о борьбе с отмыванием денег.
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 сообщил В четверг, 16 февраля, Binance.US перевела $400 млн торговой фирме, управляемой CZ, в начале 2021 года, что вновь вызвало вопросы об автономии американской компании.
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.
Чанпэн Чжао может столкнуться с большими проблемами с регулирующими органами США, если выяснится, что Binance контролирует своего американского коллегу.
