Binance CEO Defends Offshore Exchanges
CZ stated that Jesse Powell is using the word “offShore” quite often. He stated that this term appears to be overly narrow minded and self centered. However, this also misses the broader picture and looks unhelpful to the development of the crypto industry.
Binance Chief added that it is difficult to tell how infuriating can be when they point out massive red flags in the industry and spot the illicit activities for the regulators, and they choose to ignore them. He highlighted what Watchdog says to ignore the complaints, They are offshore and it’s complicated. Read More Crypto News Here…
He brought up FTX collapse in this matter. CZ stated taking an “on-shore” perspective, FTX US is an onshore crypto exchange. Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) and FTX’s executives are Americans. However, they have spent a huge amount of their time and efforts in lobbying. He alleged that they did not stop fraud from being committed.
Kraken CEO Needs To Be Corrected?
CZ further added that differentiating between on-shore and rest exchanges is somewhat self-centered and arrogant. Taking a jibe at Jesse Powell, Binance boss stated that we are better than everyone else is not a motivation for building a better industry.
Binance boss advised that over generalization won’t help anyone and is negative. However, he mentioned that he does respect Jesse for what he has done till now for the industry. But in this matter, it is important to point it out.
Earlier, Coingape reported that Kraken did a settlement with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The crypto exchange went on to close down its crypto staking service.
