Crackdown on Binance
Earlier, the U.S. authorities cracked down heavily on Binance and its US entity, Binance.US, and since then, the dominance of the leading digital asset declined in the crypto sector.
Interestingly, in November last year, the United States DoJ imposed a fine of $4.3 billion on Binance and its co-founder and crypto entrepreneur Changpeng Zhao. Following the penalty, Zhao resigned as the company’s chief executive officer while pleading guilty to voluntarily breaking securities regulations.
