Is Binance Still Under Investigation?

Binance, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges by trading volume, is still under investigation by Japanese authorities. The investigation was first launched in March 2018, after it was revealed that the exchange had been operating without a proper license from the Japanese Financial Services Agency (FSA).

While the FSA has not yet issued any formal penalties or orders to Binance, the ongoing investigation is a clear sign that the regulator is not happy with the way the exchange has been operating in Japan. This is likely to put pressure on Binance to either obtain a proper license from the FSA, or to cease operations in Japan altogether.

NOTE: WARNING: The status of any investigation into Binance is not publicly available and may be subject to change. As such, it is not recommended to make any decisions based on speculation about whether or not Binance is under investigation. Any information regarding investigations into Binance should be obtained from official sources only.

If Binance does decide to exit the Japanese market, it would be a major blow to the cryptocurrency industry in Japan. Binance is one of the few large exchanges that still serve the Japanese market, and its departure would leave many Japanese investors without a convenient way to buy and sell cryptocurrencies.

Investors should closely monitor this situation and be prepared for the possibility that Binance may no longer be available as an option for buying and selling cryptocurrencies in Japan.
