Binance Ditches Stock Offering

Binance said it will stop the trading of stock tokens on the platform. Stock tokens are cryptocurrencies whose value is derived from the value of a particular stock, such as $TESLA. The move is effective immediately. 

“Today, we are announcing that we will be winding down support for stock tokens on Binance.com to shift our commercial focus to other product offerings. Effective immediately, stock tokens are unavailable for purchase on Binance.com, and Binance.com will no longer support any stock tokens after 2021-10-14 19:55 (UTC).”

Users have to sell their stock tokens by October 14 because all open positions will be closed the following day. 

While the news from The Block is a matter of fact, many publications are attributing this to the current global crackdown on Binance. One such jurisdiction is Thailand, which filed a criminal complaint for operating in the country without a license. 

Last week, CZ wrote a blog post addressing the issue. He noted his company’s approach and plans for regulations, including hiring Rick McDonell, the former executive secretary of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the global standard-setting body for AML. He also noted that they are localizing operations so each operation operates well within the laws of the jurisdiction where they are.
