The American division of the global cryptocurrency exchange Binance, Binance.US, is battling major obstacles that may be impeding its development. The relationship between Binance.US and its co-founder, Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, is at the heart of those difficulties. The expansion prospects for Binance.US remain limited as long as CZ retains a proper relationship to the company, according to sources privy to internal corporate deliberations.
Binance.US recently experienced a number of difficulties. The U.S. arm’s president and CEO, Brian Shroder, recently left the organisation. This departure occurred against a background of reduced operations and staff reductions. The Securities and Alternate Fee (SEC) lawsuit against Binance has had a significant impact on these modifications. According to the SEC’s accusations, CZ has the ability to reroute customer property at his discretion. Binance has publicly declared its intention to fiercely defend its platform in response to the lawsuit.
The regulatory environment is seen as a major obstacle to the company’s development, along with CZ’s connections to Binance.US. Three prospective advancements were presented to the company’s employees during a recent all-hands meeting.
Initiatives for Continued Progress: This strategy entails moving forward with intention, offering new goods like shares and futures trading, and obtaining new licences for derivatives trading. CZ would like to resolve his regulatory concerns through the SEC, though, for this strategy to be successful. This might entail selling all of his shares in Binance.US or possibly putting his assets in Binance.US in a blind trust.
Reasonable Funding: The second strategy involves investing in platform updates while receiving an average company bill discount. This includes improvements like infrastructure optimisation with AWS and sub-account performance. However, the success of this strategy depends on securing money in the midst of the current weak market.
Hibernation: The third strategy, which appears to be Binance.US‘s current approach, is to enter a condition of “hibernation” until there has been a significant improvement in the situation of the company. This might mean much lower costs while maintaining regular business operations and licences.
Recent data presents a challenging picture of Binance. US. The corporation’s monthly volume of purchases and sales has drastically decreased, falling from $10.6 billion in January to just $70 million this month. Additionally, clients of the platform are unable to purchase cryptocurrencies with U.S. “dollars.”
