Binance get order to identify and freeze hackers accounts

Binance

Binance has been ordered by the high court of the UK to investigate the hackers who robbed $2.6 million from Fetch.ai and freeze their accounts.

The amount of money is lesser than the amount compared to the recent hack of Poly Network, it is one of the first public cases involving Binance and will be a litmus test for English courts and their abilities to combat fraud on cryptocurrency platforms

A spokesperson from Binance confirmed that the company was helping Fetch.ai to recover its assets. They went on to say:

“Binance routinely freezes accounts that are identified as having suspicious activity occurring in line with our security policies and commitment to ensuring that users are protected while using our platform.”

Binance warned Fetch.ai that it had seen strange activity on their account. Binance already freezes some of the money for safety, the hacker was able to sell some of the assets, but only for a third of the original amount.

The result of the hack on the Poly network and this case shows that it is becoming extremely hard for hackers to hack into accounts, rob cash, and keep it.

Binance XRP docs have been given to Ripple’s CEO

Binance

Binance has allowed Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse to request data on XRP transactions.

Access to Binance papers of XRP transactions has been granted to Ripple’s CEO.

Brad Garlinghouse’s application to collect records from Binance was approved by Sarah Netburn, the presiding judge in Ripple’s continuing case with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has filed a complaint against Garlinghouse for allegedly violating the Securities Act of 1933.

Last Monday, Garlinghouse’s legal team filed a motion with Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, asking for details on XRP sales.

Ripple filed the move as part of its international discovery procedure, which collects data on every XRP sale conducted on the exchange.

The motion was just approved, which comes as no surprise given the SEC’s lack of objections. The permission is seen as a minor victory for Ripple in the court fight.

On behalf of Garlinghouse, the court will send a Letter of Request to the Cayman Islands-based exchange. Binance will give papers that can be used as evidence in the case if it heeds the request.

The SEC claimed in a lawsuit filed in December 2020 that Ripple and its officers, CEO Brad Garlinghouse and executive chairman Chris Larsen, gained $1.3 billion in unregistered security sales over an eight-year period.

Ripple’s legal team has denied the accusation. They also recently invoked the “Lack of Clarity” Defense, claiming that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) did not make its securities regulations more clear. They’ve devised a new defense strategy.

By displaying XRP sales that took place outside of the United States, the Ripple team hopes to demonstrate that the SEC may not have power over such transactions.

Binance is a key source of XRP sales statistics in this regard. Bitfinex, Bithumb, Bitstamp, HitBTC, Huobi Global, and OKEx were previously authorized to collect similar information from other exchanges where XRP sales were performed.

Binance may go public in the US, according to its CEO

binance

Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao claimed Binance U.S. was “looking at the IPO route” at an online event on Friday.

Soon, Binance U.S. may list shares on a U.S. exchange through an initial public offering.

Despite the exchange’s ongoing regulatory issues, Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, indicated that an IPO for its US-based division is in the process.

Zhao revealed the intentions while speaking at Siam Commercial Bank of Thailand’s online event REDeFiNE Tomorrow.

Zhao said the company was working with US regulators and instituting “structures” to make the IPO aspirations a reality.

“Binance U.S. is looking at the IPO route. Most regulators are familiar with a certain pattern or having headquarters, having corporate structure. But we are setting up those structures to make it easier for an IPO to happen” he said.

It’s important to understand that it is not the same as Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange. Because Binance U.S. operates within the confines of the United States’ regulatory environment, it offers a different set of trading pairs and a lesser trading volume than its global version.
