Claiming that it was only the derivatives license of Binance Australia that was canceled, the exchange’s CEO on Thursday offered an explanation to clear any confusion.

Recently, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) filed a lawsuit against the crypto exchange over regulatory violations in trading and derivatives related operations. The lawsuit came as a major shock to the crypto market recent times, especially because it is the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange in terms of trading volumes.
CZ Explains Binance Australia Status
The Binance CEO revealed that there were only 104 users in the company’s derivatives business, in what could be a clear indication for possible reason behind the move. CZ said it was only after the company requested to do so that the Australian regulators canceled the derivatives license.
“There are some misinformation (and confusion) about Binance Australia. Binance Australia requested to cancel the derivatives license yesterday. The platform had exactly 104 users as of yesterday. Binance Australia will CONTINUE to operate the spot exchange in AU.”
In the recent times, CZ had been encouraging crypto community to “ignore FUD.”
