Binance is introducing global KYC requirements



Binance is tightening the KYC processes. From now on you have to verify yourself to be able to trade on the crypto exchanges.

When the crypto exchange was founded in 2017, everything was a little like in the Wild West. For a long time, it was possible to trade Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Altcoins anonymously at Binance. With an email address and a password, you could enter the crypto world and start trading. But meanwhile more and more governments and authorities are humming stricter requirements on the “wild crypto west”. The crypto exchange is currently struggling with fierce headwinds, for example in Japan or the United Kingdom , and accordingly has to be conciliatory with the legal guardians. With this in mind , it is hardly surprising that Binanceintroduced a general identification requirement on August 20. If you want to trade on Binance from now on, you have to go through a “KYC” (Know Your Customer) process.


Binance writes on August 20, 2021 on the blog :

Investor protection is an integral part of our DNA and our core values. Our vision is to create a sustainable ecosystem that is safe for everyone involved. Over the past four years, we've laid the foundation by investing heavily in the  safety and security of our customers , assisting law enforcement agencies around the world with high-profile investigations, and helping cybercrime victims recover millions of dollars' worth of stolen funds .

The announcement of Binance's KYC obligation is part of a series of other messages that show that the crypto exchange is more and more bowing to global regulatory pressure, or has to bow. It was not until July 27 that Binance announced on Twitter that users who have not been verified can only withdraw a maximum of 0.06 Bitcoin - compared to an earlier limit of two Bitcoin.

An industry in transition - Binance also has to adapt

It almost seems as if crypto exchanges like Binance are somehow “growing up”. While they were largely unregulated when they were founded and governments around the world have taken on the role of observer, authorities are regulating the crypto exchanges more and more today. And they have to adapt to this pressure - whether they want to or not. Binance itself sees that too; In the blog post on the new KYC obligation, it says: “Our goal is to work more closely with political decision-makers in order to improve global standards and discourage criminals”. A few days earlier, the company announced that it had named Greg Monahan, a former US finance detective, as Global Money Laundering Reporting Officer.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
