Changpeng Zhao announced that they did not buy WazirX, the cryptocurrency exchange in India
WazirX, Binance’s India arm, is under the legal scrutiny, as you can follow from Kriptokoin.com. Accordingly, the Executive Directorate of India alleges that WazirX “actively assists around 16 accused fintech companies in money laundering using the crypto route.” In the legal process, Indian authorities froze $8.1 million in WazirX funds as part of the AML investigation.
In an announcement Friday, the Enforcement Directorate claimed that WazirX facilitated money laundering by anonymous fintech firms. In its investigation, the ED ordered the freezing of WazirX bank accounts containing roughly $8.1 million. He also said he did a search linked to co-founder Sameer Mhatre.
Later, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao made a statement on the subject on Twitter on Friday. He specifically said that Binance “does not own any stake in Zanmai Labs, which operates WazirX and was founded by the original founders.” “Binance only provides wallet services as a technology solution for WazirX,” he said, while WazirX is responsible for KYC and other transactions on the exchange.
With the exit of many crypto firms in China following regulatory pressure, many companies are reportedly turning to the markets in India. ED previously took a similar action against WazirX in June 2021. He ordered the exchange to display its transactions for illegal betting practices involving Chinese citizens. Shetty said that at the time, the exchange specifically “gone beyond its legal obligations by following Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) processes and always providing information to law enforcement when needed.”
