Both companies’ main websites share similarities including shared code and the use of Binance’s content delivery domain bnbstatic.com. In fact, the companies’ terms of use are identical, suggesting the two may also be sharing legal resources.

Responses By Crypto Exchanges
HKVAEX in an email denied its link with Binance, saying the company is an independent virtual asset exchange in Hong Kong.
“It’s operated by a team of technology and seasoned professionals from the financial services sector, currently preparing to apply for the [Securities and Futures Commission’s virtual asset trading platform] license.”
Binance’s representative also denied that HKVAEX is related to the largest exchange. “Binance group” in terms of service is focused on online exchange for crypto assets, which is distinct from “Binance Affiliates’’.
However, Binance having an independent exchange HKVAEX will allow it to have a significant presence in Hong Kong amid increased scrutiny and liquidity issues faced by Binance.
