Crypto News

Amid increased scrutiny from regulatory bodies, Binance Holdings Ltd., the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, is reportedly contemplating ending its relationships with US-based business partners. According to an anonymous source, the company is considering a retreat due to issues with a key banking partner and stablecoin issuer. Binance Holdings has been investigated by various organizations, including the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the Justice Department, and the Internal Revenue Service.

The source states that Binance Holdings is evaluating the possibility of severing its connections with intermediary companies, such as banks and service providers, and re-evaluating its venture capital investments in the United States. Furthermore, it is considering removing tokens from any US-based projects, including Circle’s USD Coin. It is worth noting that Binance Holdings is not permitted to provide cryptocurrency services to US customers. Instead, there is a separate, smaller exchange called Binance.US that claims to be independent and has no intentions of leaving the United States.
