North Dakota Revokes Binance US Money Transmitter License<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On June 17, Commissioner Lise Kruse of the North Dakota Department of Financial Institutions (DFI)\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> stated that BAM Trading Services, which operates under Binance.US, did not adhere to the state's money transmitter laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A revocation order cites Binance and its founder Changpeng Zhao's November federal conviction for conspiracy to conduct an unlicensed money-transmitting business and failing to maintain an effective anti-money laundering program as justifications for revoking the license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Kruse and Zhao, Binance's \u201cmajority beneficial owner and control person,\u201d was recently convicted of felony charges for violating federal anti-money laundering statutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Commissioner finds the Respondent does not continue to meet the qualifications or satisfy requirements that may apply to an applicant for a new money transmitter license,\u201d the revocation order states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The United States can request the reversal of the order within the next 30 days. This request will expire on July 17, 2024<\/strong>. If no request is submitted by that time, the order will be implemented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BAM Trading Services<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> has requested the renewal of a money transmission license from North Dakota, the seventh state, to revoke or deny the request. In recent months, Alaska, Florida, Maine, North Carolina, and Oregon have implemented comparable measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initial jurisdiction to discontinue Binance was Florida. Shortly after Zhao entered a guilty plea in November, the United States provided services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

North Carolina and Maine were the subsequent U.S. states to adopt this policy on January 23 and 29, respectively. Binance.US never received licenses in New York, Texas, Vermont and Hawaii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Binance.US website, the enrollment process for new users has been temporarily suspended in Connecticut, Georgia, Ohio, Minnesota, and Washington state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
