CZ Binance Dispelling FUDs

Latest FUD reported by CoinGape involves allegations of arbitrage opportunities on Binance.US, where Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT were reportedly available at significant discounts compared to global spot prices. Renowned trader Peter Brandt voiced criticism, labeling it the “scam of the decade”.

I believe this is the one of the big reasons Binance has such a tight team. We have always had external pressure, FUD, etc. As a result, we are constantly in the trenches together.

– CZ Binance, July 10, 2023

Moreover, the departure of key executives from Binance.US has fueled speculation about the exchange’s stability following the lawsuit filed against it by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for alleged violations of securities laws. CZ Binance dismisses these departures as normal turnover and attributes concerns to FUD, maintaining that they are unrelated to the SEC action.

Regulatory scrutiny has also intensified, with Australian authorities conducting searches at Binance Australia as part of an ongoing derivatives probe. The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) is reviewing Binance Australia’s derivatives operations and assessing the classification of its retail and wholesale clients.

Binance Faces Challenges In Europe

Additionally, French authorities initiated an investigation into potential illegal activities and money laundering related to digital assets. Binance asserts its compliance with all laws in France and every other country in which it operates, reinforcing its commitment to regulatory adherence.

Binance has faced challenges on multiple fronts, including its European banking partner Paysafe Payment Solutions discontinuing embedded wallet solutions across the European Economic Area (EEA) due to regulatory and banking challenges. Binance’s decision to exit several countries, including the Netherlands and Belgium, further reflects the difficulties it has encountered.

In the face of these challenges, Binance CZ’s response aligns with his philosophy of leveraging external pressure to build a stronger team. By addressing concerns, engaging with the community, and reinforcing compliance efforts, CZ and the Binance team aim to dispel FUD and solidify trust.
