Binance pivots to stablecoins after SEC regulatory action
Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has turned to alternative stablecoins following regulatory action by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against its native stablecoin, Binance USD (BUSD). The SEC sent a Wells notice to Binance, alleging that BUSD violates US securities law. The New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) also asked BUSD issuer Paxos Trust to stop minting new BUSD, which forced Binance to look for alternative ways to meet its stablecoin needs.
