Earlier, auditing partner Mazars Group has suspended ties with Binance as the exchange faces the heat from crypto community over asset transparency. The trader community believes that Binance is not fully transparent about the way in which it holds and stores user assets. This led a sharp drop in the BNB price. The whole criticism around the exchange’s assets began after it published the audit report on Binance proof of reserves.
