Binance in Danger? Do You Really Need to Withdraw Your Funds?

FUD has resumed for with yet another event heralding the end of the platform. But do investors really need to start panicking?

Being the largest crypto exchange by trading volume, BINANCE is often surrounded by Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD). But will the exchange escape intact from recent controversy?

Binance, an Illegal and Dying Platform?

the fall of FTX, rumors have been rife regarding Binance. With FUD surrounding the platform, the involvement of the U.S. Senate has added an extra layer of complication. 

John Reed Stark, a former Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) member until 2009, has been following the case with interest. In a Twitter , he warns Binance’s fall is imminent,and users better withdraw their funds.

And Reed Stark goes on to list the five things that could lead the SEC to shut down the platform.

Among these reasons are the lack of reliable information, audits of evidence of potentially misleading reserves, recent CFTC accusations, misuse of regulations, and a serious lack of perspective for the future.

Binance’s team avoided revealing key financial information about the company and Binance.US in response to a recent letter from U.S. senators.

What Should Investors Think?

Is John Reed Stark telling the truth, and should customers flee the platform as soon as possible? Currently, American regulators aren’t concerned about Binance.com, but, however, Binance.US is under scrutiny.

However, for the experts who are critical in the comments, it is unlikely American customers would be put in danger. 

Indeed, Binance.US would be a separate entity, and its closure could have minimal consequences, as most of the company’s income comes from its international activities.

In the worst-case scenario, the Changpeng Zhao-led exchange might follow the COINBASE route and simply leave the US. So far, neither the team nor Zhao has spoken on the matter. This, therefore, remains to be seen.
