Binance halts operations revolving around BUSD

Binance’s decision to halt all operations revolving around particular margin trading pairs comes in alignment with the recent announcement of the firm’s decision to end support for BUSD, a fiat-backed stablecoin issued by Binance and Paxos. The decision to end support for BUSD originated from the growing regulatory challenges emerging in multiple countries. The main objective behind the move to end support for BUSD was to minimize the regulatory risks and safeguard its users and partners to ensure the uninterrupted and smooth functioning of operations in the firm.

Earlier this year, Binance also delisted Litecoin (LTC) and Dogecoin (DOGE) perpetual, LTCBUSD, and DOGEBUSD, probably due to the downfall of BUSD, and notified users with similar requests to that of today.
