About Binance
Binance is the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world, with a trading volume of $7.7 trillion annually. It was established in 2017 by Changpeng Zhao and had Cayman Islands registration because after being initially headquartered in China, Binance had to move out due to increased regulation in the country.
The United States Department of Justice and Internal Revenue Service both opened investigations against Binance in 2021 on claims that it had engaged in money laundering and tax evasion. In June 2021, Binance ceased all regulated operations in the UK, according to a directive from the country’s Financial Conduct Authority.
Recently, the platform has started to take regulations seriously and has bagged operational licenses in many countries. For example, Italy and Dubai recently awarded licenses to Binance. It is also looking to get licenses from Sweden, Spain, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and many more nations.
