Hey my friend!
How did your weekend go?
Happy Democracy Day!
Did you hear about the recent developments with Binance.US? They're urging their customers to withdraw their cash from the crypto exchange by next week. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been tightening the screws in what Binance.US calls an "ideological campaign" against the industry.
Binance.US took to Twitter to inform its customers that its banking partners would be cutting off withdrawals by June 13. This means they might not be able to accept deposits or issue withdrawals in US dollars. So, they're advising American customers to withdraw any fiat cash before the deadline. They did mention that due to increased activity, withdrawals might take longer than usual. However, customer deposits are still safe as they maintain a 1:1 ratio.
After June 13, Binance.US will temporarily become a crypto-only platform until they can secure "more stable" banking partners. The exchange expressed frustration with the SEC, stating that the regulatory body has been using aggressive and intimidating tactics in their pursuit of this ideological campaign against the American digital asset industry. Binance.US and its business partners are determined to defend themselves and their customers against the unjustified civil claims brought by the SEC.
The SEC has leveled 13 charges against Binance, with a focus on their compliance with US securities laws. Among other things, the SEC has accused the company of misrepresenting trading controls on Binance.US and secretly allowing high-value US clients to trade on Binance.com, despite supposed restrictions for American customers on the main platform. It's definitely a challenging situation for Binance, but they're determined to address these allegations and protect their customers.
What are your thoughts on this whole situation?
