RIF is now on Binance’s list
Binance has announced that RIF has been added to Binence Convert. Users can now trade RIFs for BTC, BUSD, USDC and other tokens via Convert.
Binance announces it will stop off-chain transfers with WazirX
WazirX, which is claimed to play an active role in crypto money laundering, has been on the agenda with Binence for a while. This is because Binance announced its acquisition of the India-based exchange in 2019. On August 5, the Executive Directorate of India (ED) froze approximately $8.1 million in funding of WazirX. The Binence-related exchange is on trial for allegedly assisting about 16 fintech companies in laundering cryptocurrencies.
The latest statements by Changpeng Zhao, the founder and CEO of Binance, also caused panic among WazirX users. Zhao said that if Binance could shut down the Indian cryptocurrency platform, he wanted it. He also advised its users to transfer their funds to Binance. Zhao denies WazirX founder Nischal Shetty’s claims that the Indian exchange is owned by Binance, following an investigation by Indian government agencies.
