Binance Appeals Against $4.3M Penalty Imposed by Canada Regulator

In a recent court appeal, Binance argued that it does not specifically target Canadian customers, claiming its activity in Canada is merely a byproduct of its international operations, according to a June 19 report by the Canadian Press. The exchange revealed that although it had previously attempted to establish a Canadian presence, these plans were abandoned. By May 2023, Binance had fully exited the Canadian market, citing new regulations on stablecoins and investor restrictions that made continued operations unfeasible. Despite its departure, Binance acknowledged the sentimental value of Canada, being the home country of its founder.

In May, the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) imposed a $4.3 million fine on Binance for non-compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) and terrorist financing rules. FINTRAC claimed that between June 2021 and July 2023, Binance failed to report over 5,000 transactions of $10,000 or more. Additionally, despite having multiple opportunities, Binance failed to register as a money services business within the deadlines set by the regulator.

Beyond its issues in Canada, Binance is facing a multitude of legal challenges globally. In April, a class-action lawsuit was filed against the exchange in Canada, accusing it of violating securities laws. The plaintiffs allege that Binance sold crypto derivative products to everyday investors without proper registration, breaching Ontario’s Securities Act and federal regulations. This lawsuit, representing tens of thousands of Canadian investors, seeks compensation and the reversal of unauthorized trades.

Globally, Binance has also faced significant financial penalties. In November, the exchange settled with US authorities, agreeing to a $4 billion fine for violations of anti-money laundering and sanctions laws. Similarly, the Indian Financial Intelligence Unit imposed a $2.24 million fine, the largest ever against a crypto entity in the country, for failing to comply with AML regulations.

Binance’s regulatory and legal troubles illustrate the significant challenges faced by cryptocurrency exchanges operating across multiple jurisdictions. While the exchange continues to navigate these complexities, its ability to comply with global regulatory standards and address legal disputes will be critical to its long-term viability and reputation in the market.

Chronicle BSV Blockchain Latest Update

Published

on

chronicle-bsv-blockchain-latest-update

 

BSV Blockchain is pleased to announce its new Chronicle update which will officially launch later in 2024. The update will further align the BSV blockchain with the original Bitcoin white paper and allow it to dynamically scale at an exponential rate so it’s ready to meet the growing demand for trusted data.

The Chronicle update is a direct follow-up of the Genesis upgrade in 2020 which restored many aspects of the Bitcoin protocol that had been modified in previous software updates including the removal of most limit-based consensus rules, replacing them with miner configurable settings that give node operators the autonomy needed to set their limits as they determine are practical.

Connor Murray, Director of Stewardship said: “A main driving milestone of the BSV blockchain is to restore the protocol as close to the original protocol as possible, so with the Genesis update in 2020, we restored most of the original scripting functionalities of the script that were in the original Bitcoin protocol.

But there are still a few opcodes remaining that haven’t been restored yet. And, some limitations on ways you can add data into a transaction that needs to be removed. With the upcoming Chronicle update, due out later this year, we will restore some of the remaining opcodes that need restoration.”

These opcodes include: 

  • OP_VER
  • OP_VERIF
  • OP_VERNOTIF
  • OP_SUBSTR
  • OP_LEFT
  • OP_RIGHT
  • OP_2MUL
  • OP_2DIV

This will enable several new use cases as well as the removal of unnecessary restrictions and limits placed on the node, including:

  • Lifting restrictions on the length of numbers used in scripts
  • No longer insisting that the script stack must be left “clean” after execution
  • Low S requirement for signatures
  • Allowing opcodes in the unlocking script
  • No longer insisting on minimal encoding

However, the update will also add benefits for developers in several ways ahead of the upcoming Mandala upgrade.

Connor went on to say: “One of the opcodes is a versioning opcode which will allow developers to build overlay-type networks and transactions. it provides a way to version transactions, and build overlay networks, on top of the blockchain which we think is a really interesting use case.”

The Chronicle update will also provide the network topology that will scale as much as possible going forward, said Murray. He noted that an important function of the ongoing Teranode project is to take out some of the external services that the node currently handles and make the node software just do the core mining functions inherent to building blocks.

The Chronicle update is set to launch in Q3 2024 with further details available closer to the time. This will include more information on developer benefits and when miners should upgrade to the new version.
