Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange, is facing accusations of commingling customer funds totaling billions of dollars and regulatory breaches. Anonymous sources claim that Binance frequently used the collapsed Silvergate Bank for mixing funds. The stablecoin at the center of the dispute, BUSD, has been accused of being used to credit user accounts rather than genuine U.S. dollars. Binance denies the allegations, but the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has levied severe accusations against the company, alleging that it allowed trading firms based in the U.S. to engage in crypto derivatives trading on its international exchange while commingling funds and circumventing compliance controls.
