Binance in Action Ahead Bitcoin Halving

While the concerns surrounding the SEC lawsuit and Bitcoin price dropping before halving stay in buzz, Binance has continued to make positive developments. Binance CEO Richard Teng recently said the crypto exchange is carefully considering headquarters and in constructive discussions in many countries.

Meanwhile, Binance Holdings has reached a significant milestone by obtaining a full Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) license in Dubai. The move followed strategic decision by co-founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao to relinquish his voting control in the local entity.

Binance is also eyeing re-entry into other countries including India after facing regulatory pushback last year.
