FTX wants to regain its chips: after some questionable transfers, Binance could escape with a hefty fine.
The news came like a thunderbolt in the crypto world: the SEC has officially ended its investigation into the BUSD stablecoin without taking coercive measures. Paxos, the issuer of the stablecoin, announced this news with a sigh of relief. While the crypto industry often navigates choppy waters with regulators, this decision marks a significant turning point. Let's explore the implications of this news in four distinct parts.
The year 2023 has ended, but the case involving the SEC and Binance is not yet over. As recently as yesterday, the U.S. crypto regulator filed a notice of supplemental authority, inviting the court to consider a decision made in the SEC vs. Terraform Labs lawsuit. Binance's legal team has their work cut out for them once again.
The crypto industry is in a constant state of flux. Each day brings its own set of surprises, twists, and challenges. For Binance, October 25th is shaping up to be a pivotal date. What is the urgency that's stirring things up behind the scenes at the exchange? Let's dive into the action.
Several reports on the performance of dollar-backed digital currencies suggest that crypto wallets containing stablecoins will eventually replace credit cards. The appetite for dollar-backed stablecoins in payments is increasingly surprising, and could even pose a threat to the business model of traditional payment companies such as Visa, PayPal and MasterCard. What do traditional payment companies have to say about this silent competitor?
As the crypto sector continues to evolve at dazzling speed, Binance, the crypto trading giant, once again appears to be at the forefront of innovation. With the launch of ColLabs by Binance Labs, the promise is bold: to transform the way investors perceive and interact with the Web3 ecosystem.
Tether (USDT) is the largest stablecoin currently on the markets. Present in the crypto ecosystem since 2014, its position is undeniable. However, USDT's lowest parity since the fall of FTX is being recorded, and this could be the work of Changpeng Zhao, CEO of Binance.
Unlike other cryptos, stablecoins inspire relatively more confidence among users. This is due to the stability of their value, which correlates with that of a fiat currency. However, their monetary status had never been officially recognized. At least, until Jerome Powell, Chairman of the US Federal Reserve (Fed), did so. Is this a turning point?
SHIB, the meme-inspired crypto has managed to seduce Binance. The Exchange, has decided to take it out of its Innovation Zone and place it in the category of projects with high growth and sustainability potential. This gesture of confidence could well further strengthen SHIB's position in the market and encourage investors to take a closer look at this crypto.
