FCA Japan has issued a warning to Binance cryptocurrency exchange, claiming it was engaged in cryptocurrency trading business without registration. This same warning has been issued to Bybit cryptocurrency exchange as well.
The warning by Financial Services Agency of Japan clearly mentions Binance’s CEO name, Changpeng Zhao, popularly known as just CZ on social media platforms like twitter.
While it may seem that this news only matters to Japanese citizens that are using binance, it is a bearish news for all cryptocurrency market as a whole as there are myriad markets where Binance could be operating without registration.
To many, Binance is the real ticking bomb that could be deflagrating on the whole crypto ecosystem. In comparison, this could be 3x riskier than Tether case which is a stablecoin issued by Bitfinex.
