Compliance with regulations
In 2021, the Binance Exchange is facing enormous pressure from regulators, which have begun to act on the demands of countries such as the UK, Japan, Italy, Malaysia, Singapore and others. Countries have warned the exchange against offering services without KYC verification. From this moment, however CEO of Binance, Changpeng Zhao, promised absolute cooperation and compliance.
