Binance getting in hot water with regulators in various countries
As reported by U.Today previously, the world’s largest crypto exchange spearheaded by Changpeng Zhao (aka CZ) has been getting in crosshairs of financial regulators in various countries.
These include the UK, Malta, Italy, then Hong Kong joined them. The regulators in these countries have stated that Binance Group is not authorized to operate there.
Last week, Binance also announced that it intends to cease the trading of tokenized stocks as it intends to move to other projects. In reality, this case is again related to regulators of Germany and Italy and, according to Chinese cryptocurrency journalist Colin Wu, of Hong Kong.
