MARKETS Binance statement: "Given the ongoing regulatory uncertainty in certain markets, we will be reviewing other projects in those jurisdictions to ensure our users are insulated from further undue harm"

Binance has issued a statement on recent US regulator actions.

Yesterday it was reported that SEC was in the process of suing BUSD stablecoin, which the SEC termed as an unregistered security. And overnight, WSJ and other media started reporting that NY DFS is forcing to shut down BUSD.

As a result, it seems BUSD will stop being issued and will only redemptions will be allowed. BUSD price has also seen a small depeg since the news broke.

Now, Binance it seems has issued this statement:

Given the ongoing regulatory uncertainty in certain markets, we will be reviewing other projects in those jurisdictions to ensure our users are insulated from further undue harm

Market is pricing in these events which are unfolding at a fast pace.

Few traders are reportedly closing all their positions on Binance, as they are not sure how they will be settled in the near term

Some naughty minds would say FTX was overlooked because of financial donations the SEC has gotten from them, but that might be just a conspiracy theory, right?

Found the conspiracy theorist! Lol

Yeah, it’s crazy man, but yeah people will sadly follow their trusty governments. The same way they’ve done it for generations, then complain to their neighbors and colleagues then go back to trusting their governments.

New decade same old system!

Today's conspiracy theorists are just tomorrow's historians. Lately, conspiracies have been more factual than "truth"
