OKX and Binance Withdraw from Japan Amid Regulatory Pressure

  • Wechat scan to share

June 27 (Cointime) - OKX, the second largest offshore cryptocurrency trading venue, is reportedly stopping its services to customers in Japan due to local regulatory rules and laws. Chinese crypto blogger Colin Wu believes this move may be due to pressure from the local financial regulator, the FSA.

Binance also recently announced its withdrawal from the Japanese market and other countries, with some speculating it is due to non-compliance with local regulatory rules. Meanwhile, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc is negotiating with stablecoin emitters to issue them on its own blockchain platform following the legalization of digital asset issuance by Japanese regulators.

  • Trump team files complaint over Harris inheriting $96 million in Biden campaign funds

    According to reports from foreign media, the Trump campaign team has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, claiming that Biden's transfer of $96 million in campaign funds to Harris is illegal. David Warrington, a lawyer for the Trump campaign team, said that this was a "shameless money-grabbing act" and would constitute the largest excessive donation and most serious violation in the history of the Federal Election Law. Shortly after Biden withdrew from the election and appointed Harris as his preferred successor, she took over Biden's campaign committee's bank account. Steve Roberts, a lawyer who represented Republican candidates, said that the argument against the transfer was a "wishful thinking" of his Republican colleagues. The Harris campaign team said that this complaint would not affect its fundraising or spending.
