Regulators from several countries, including the UK, the Cayman Islands, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, and Italy, questioned the legitimacy of Binance’s operations. The Cayman Islands Monetary Authority and CONSOB (Italy’s financial watchdog) both announced the exchange’s operation in their respective jurisdictions is unlicensed.

Japan’s Financial Services Agency issued a notice warning consumers against transacting with Binance. Similar regulatory scrutiny forced Binance to rethink its structure. Currently, Binance functions as a decentralized entity without any official headquarters.

As the largest player in the industry, we need to prepare ourselves for the shift. We are making changes to make it easier to work with regulators.

Changpeng Zhao said in his interview with SCMP

Binance’s rebuilding efforts with centralized headquarters, the exchange would be turning its back on the core ethos of cryptocurrencies- decentralization.

In other news, Binance announced the addition of ALICE as loanable assets on the Binance Loans platform. ALICE is the native token social simulation blockchain game ‘My Neighbor Alice,’ the 18th project on Binance Launchpool.

At the time of writing, BNB was trading at $427.6, down 0.90% on the day.
