Cryptocurrency exchange blames regulatory uncertainty in the US
Binance US made a statement on the subject with a tweet. The crypto exchange attributed the dissolution to the “hostile and uncertain regulatory climate in the United States” that “created an unpredictable operating environment affecting the entire American business community.” In this context, Binance made the following statement:
Binance US has made a difficult decision by terminating its acquisition agreement with Voyager. While our hope throughout the process has been to help Voyager customers’ crypto assets alike, the hostile and uncertain regulatory environment in the US has brought an unpredictable work environment that has impacted the entire American business community.
A significant portion of the $1 billion deal was allowed to progress in an April 20 filing by the U.S. government, despite concerns that fine printing of the contract would forgive tax or securities law violations.
Reports of Binance US and China connections resurfaced
Meanwhile, a report by Bloomberg has new allegations about the crypto exchange’s relationship with China-based developers. The report alleged that the exchange employs more than 100 workers in Shanghai for its engineering and product department.

A spokesperson made a statement on the subject. In this context, he noted that the exchange has a global workforce of over 500 employees and contractors. The company representative also noted that the exchange stores all customer data on the Amazon Web Services platform in Virginia.
