The exchange is considering a potential "full exit" from Russia, according to a Wall Street Journal report.
Summary
In light of mounting legal uncertainties within the region, leading crypto exchange, Binance, is reevaluating its business in Russia, as reported by the Wall Street Journal.
A Binance spokesperson has disclosed that the exchange is carefully evaluating various options for its Russian operations, including a “full exit”.
This week, Binance's peer-to-peer platform took action by dropping five Russian financial institutions subject to sanctions from its site. These entities had previously facilitated ruble transfers among users.
Amidst ongoing legal and regulatory challenges, the Wall Street Journal also reported this week that Binance was assisting individuals in Russia with moving funds internationally. This revelation follows a Bloomberg report in May that the U.S. Justice Department was investigating whether Binance had played a role in helping Russians evade U.S. sanctions.
Currently, Binance is under heightened scrutiny from various U.S. regulatory bodies. The Commodities Futures Trading Commission initiated legal action against the company in March, and subsequently, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a lawsuit against both Binance and CEO Changpeng Zhao for alleged violations of securities laws last month.
