Multiple U.S. states have revoked or declined to renew Binance US’s money transmitter licenses due to compliance issues and legal troubles involving former CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ). According to North Dakota’s financial regulator, “North Dakota joins Alaska, Florida, Maine, North Carolina, and Oregon in taking similar actions to revoke or deny the renewal of BAM Trading Services’ Money Transmission License.”

Binance US Faces Increasing State-Level License Revocations

An increasing number of U.S. states have revoked or declined to renew the money transmitter licenses of BAM Trading Services Inc., operating as Binance US, due to compliance issues and legal troubles tied to former CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ).

The latest revocation comes from the North Dakota Department of Financial Institutions, which announced on Monday:

“The Commissioner has found that BAM Trading Services, Inc. has failed to comply with North Dakota laws. Additionally, majority beneficial owner and control person, Changpeng Zhao, has pled guilty to felony charges for violating U.S. anti-money laundering laws.”

Zhao is currently serving a four-month prison sentence following a settlement between Binance and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). He pleaded guilty to violating the Bank Secrecy Act, and Binance agreed to pay $4.3 billion in penalties and fines. Initially, the DOJ had sought a three-year prison term for Zhao.

North Dakota’s financial regulator explained:

“Money transmission activity includes receiving money or cryptocurrency to send to a location within or outside the United States on another person’s behalf. To lawfully engage in the business of money transmission, a license is required under North Dakota Century Code Chapter 13-09.1.”

Several other states have also taken regulatory actions against Binance US for compliance issues. Florida suspended Binance US’s license in November last year, shortly after Zhao’s guilty plea for violating U.S. anti-money laundering laws. Earlier this year, Alaska declined to renew the crypto exchange’s license, followed by North Carolina suspending it on January 23, and Maine declining renewal on January 29. Connecticut suspended Binance US’s license on April 24, and Oregon revoked it on April 30.

Mysterious Trader Makes $150,000 Profit in 3 Hours From Just $2,956: Blockchain Analysis

A new Ethereum meme coin, Pochita ($POCHITA), has made headlines after skyrocketing in value shortly after its launch. According to on-chain data, one trader turned an initial investment of $3,000 into $150,000 in under three hours, reflecting a near-5000% profit. This rapid surge has drawn comparisons to other meme coins like Bonk ($BONK), which gained significant attention in the Solana ecosystem.

Pochita launched on October 2, 2024, quickly reaching a $20 million market cap within 9 hours, despite the broader crypto market contracting by 2.9% over the past 24 hours. The meme coin sector also dipped 3.2%, now valued at $47.5 billion. Despite the falling prices, Pochita’s rapid rise suggests strong investor sentiment around meme coins remains, especially following recent Federal Reserve interest rate cuts.

Though meme coins are known for their volatility and lack of clear fundamentals, they can provide quick gains for traders. Pochita is being discussed as a potential successor to Bonk, and if it continues its growth, it could join the ranks of other top meme coins like Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and Pepe Coin.

At the same time, other projects such as Crypto All-Stars ($STARS) are providing new avenues for meme coin holders by offering a unified staking platform where users can stake various meme coins and earn rewards. Crypto All-Stars has already raised over $1.9 million in its presale, indicating strong interest in platforms that provide utility and passive income opportunities for meme coin enthusiasts.

Binance warns of crypto market risks from overvaluation, centralization

Published

binance-warns-of-crypto-market-risks-from-overvaluation,-centralization

A recent Binance report highlights critical risks in the cryptocurrency market, warning of the dangers posed by inflated valuations and centralized token ownership. The report cautions that if these issues remain unaddressed, they could destabilize the long-term stability and growth of the crypto industry.

Valuation Concerns: The report emphasizes that overvaluation, particularly in newly launched tokens with low circulating supply, could lead to market bubbles and poor performance. Venture capital funds, which once aggressively invested in crypto, are now scaling back and shifting focus to sectors with more sustainable valuations. As the market becomes saturated with new tokens, the circulating supply could increase exponentially, further straining performance.

Centralization of Token Ownership: Binance also flags the risks of centralization, where large tokenholders dominate ownership. This concentration of power can result in governance issues, market manipulation, and potential crashes caused by sudden sell-offs. The report stresses the need for decentralized control and broad participation to maintain the integrity and resilience of crypto projects.

Transparency and Trust: To mitigate these risks, the report underscores the importance of transparency in fund management. A lack of clear disclosures can erode stakeholder trust and harm project sustainability. Binance notes that greater transparency, like the adoption of proof-of-reserves by platforms such as Coinbase, is crucial for fostering responsible financial management and building long-term trust in the market.

In conclusion, the report urges the crypto industry to prioritize decentralized governance and transparency to ensure sustainable growth and maintain market confidence.
