Binance anklaget for bevidst at bryde amerikanske love og under kontrol fra flere amerikanske agenturer

Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, has been accused by the Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Rostin Behnam of intentionally breaking regulatory rules and failing to comply with US laws. In a recent speech at Princeton University, Behnam criticized Binance and its CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao for offering futures contracts and derivatives to US customers without registering with the regulator and failing to keep Americans off the exchange.

"Det er ikke usofistikerede individer. De starter store virksomheder og tilbyder futures-kontrakter og derivater til amerikanske kunder” Rostin Behman

Binance under kontrol fra flere amerikanske agenturer

The CFTC filed charges against Binance and its CEO on March 27 for violating US laws by illegally offering trading and derivatives services to US customers. This move comes amidst increased scrutiny from multiple US agencies, including the Internal Revenue Service, federal prosecutors, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Indvirkning på Binance Exchange

Som et resultat af disse juridiske udfordringer er Binances handelsvolumen faldet. Derivathandelsvolumen er faldende i løbet af amerikanske timer siden CFTC-sagen. Afslutningen på nul-gebyr Bitcoin-handel for alle handelspar undtagen TrueUSD har ført til et betydeligt fald i handelsvolumen for BTC-USDT-parret, faldende med næsten 90%. På trods af disse udfordringer forbliver Binance en stor aktør på kryptovalutamarkedet med et rapporteret dagligt handelsvolumen på over 56 milliarder dollars i april 2023. 

Binance CEO CZ taler ud

Binance CEO CZ expressed disappointment with the charges made by the CFTC but has shown intentions to work with the regulator and comply with the charges. The case against Binance highlights the need for clear regulation in the cryptocurrency industry. While the industry has seen explosive growth in recent years, it remains a largely unregulated and volatile space. As regulators seek to bring these markets in line with traditional financial systems, exchanges like Binance will need to adapt to the changing regulatory landscape or risk facing legal consequences.
