Binance klammerdub kliendi kontrollimisel, kui regulatiivne surve suureneb

In light of recent regulatory crackdown and backlash, global crypto exchange Binance is hakkab oma klientide kontrollimise nõudeid kogu oma platvormil karmilt piirama. Täpsemalt piirab börs oma kunagisi leebeid kliendi tundmise (KYC) nõudeid. 

Effective immediately, new customers wanting to use Binance’s services are required to complete the platform’s vahekontrolli protsessid, mis sisaldab põhiteavet, riiklikku isikutunnistust ja näo kinnitust.

Kohustuslik KYC kõigi teenuste jaoks @Binants.

Along with access to Binance’s products and trading services, non-verified customers are now restricted from both depositing and withdrawing funds. Evidently, this is a massive change for the exchange, as up until now, Binance only required ID verification for users seeking higher trading limits.

As for existing and returning users who have not completed the updated verification processes, Binance stated that they would be restricted to a limited number of services — including withdrawal, canceling orders, and closing positions.

So why exactly is Binance taking such drastic measures and cracking down on unverified customers? According to a Chainanalysisi 2019. aasta aruanne, Binance was responsible for facilitating 27.5% of transactions tied to illicit activity — which accounted for more than any other exchange.  

With Recent Regulatory Woes, Binance May Be Losing Goodwill from Global Lawmakers

Rahapesu on krüptorahadega pikka aega seostatud. Kuid kuna krüptoseadmed ja digitaalsed varad muutuvad iga päevaga peavooluks, on regulaatorid hakanud tõsiselt kaaluma kasvava tööstuse tagajärgi. 

USA rahandusminister Janet Yellen ja SECi esimees Gary Gensler have pushed for tighter regulation in the crypto industry, citing tax evasion and money laundering loopholes. Earlier in May, Binance was under investigation by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and Department of Justice over similar concerns.

Lisaks sellele Dutch Central Bank accused Binance of failing to meet compliance with the country’s anti-money laundering laws (AML) earlier this Monday. It remains to be seen whether Binance’s efforts will be enough to satisfy financial watchdogs around the world.
