Explaining the decision to stop operating in the country, Binance said, “Our aim is to create a sustainable ecosystem around blockchain technology and digital assets. Binance welcomes developments to our industry’s regulatory framework as they pose opportunities for the market players to have greater collaboration with the regulators. We are committed to working constructively in policy-making that seeks to benefit every user.” Financial Regulators Continue Clamping Down on Binance. This news comes after the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), the country’s central bank, said Binance might have been in breach of local laws by offering Singaporeans crypto services. According to the regulator, Binance was potentially breaching the Payment Services Act.
