You Might Want To Consider Pulling Your Funds From Binance

in #leofinancelast year

I just got around to moving all my BTC from Binance to other exchanges. This isn't a very large amount but still more than I would be ok with losing. To be fair to Binance, it all went pretty smoothly and the BTC was moved in a couple of hours after the necessary confirmations.

You can read about the SEC's charges against Binance and CZ in their press release here: https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2023-101 . As a non US firm, their enforcement ability will be limited but if they were to freeze Binance's assets, then Binance will have a hard time meeting customers' withdrawals.

According to this article in AMBCrypto, Binance has asked the courts to deny SEC’s restraining order as freezing its assets would "put the firm out of business". Here's another source from CoinTelegraph: https://cointelegraph.com/news/binance-us-fights-sec-motion-to-freeze-funds-restraining-order

There's a decent chance that Binance's lawsuit will fail and you don't want to stick around to find out whether they can meet their commitments.

Only if you are in America! The rest of the world is fine!

Yeah, I hope so. I believe in their legal filing, they meant all users globally.

We really need to let go of what the USA does! They only think of them self's!

In the first place why would you leave your BTC in a centralized exchange. Don't you have a none custodian private wallet to store your BTC?

I think a lot of people still don't get it about centralized exchange.

I have binance, what have I to do to earn there??

They've got staking options under 'Earn'. It is pretty decent and pays out. Rates are higher than what you'd get at a bank but aren't those unsustainable 20%+ sort of rates.
