Binance Selloff News: Co-Founder Dismisses Rumor
Co-founder Yi He has addressed circulating rumors suggesting the cryptocurrency exchange is “about to be sold”. she further dismissed the rumors stating that they were baseless claims spread by competitors.

“We do not rule out the introduction of strategic partners and are open to mergers and acquisitions. If there are other trading platforms with sales plans, please feel free to contact us,” she added.
Binance Lawsuit Development
Last week, the crypto exchange and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a joint motion with the court to pause the ongoing Binance lawsuit for a minimum of 60 days. Reportedly, this development comes amid the formation of the new crypto task force under the leadership of SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce.
Both parties acknowledge that the task force’s efforts could influence the resolution of the case. At the conclusion of the 60-day period, they will provide a status report indicating whether an extension is necessary. The temporary pause will help to preserve resources and potentially eliminate the need for additional court proceedings if an early resolution is achieved.
CZ Weighs on Listing Process
Co-founder Changpeng Zhao has weighed on the token listing process on the exchange calling it faulty. He said that most crypto tokens take hours to list on centralized exchanges (CEXs) like this after getting listed on decentralized exchanges (DEXs). This offers a playground for pump and dump.
“As an observer, I think the Binance listing process is a bit broken. They announce, then list 4 hours later. The notice period is necessary, but in those 4 hours, the token prices go high on DEXes, and then people sell on CEX,” Zhao wrote.
Thus, CZ has requested the centralized exchanges (CEXs) to be more efficient and reduce the time period of listing between CEXs and DEXs.
