Coin Logic News Flash- Binance Under FinCEN Scrutiny, Ukraine Launches New Tax Regulations, and Ripple CEO Hints at Possible SEC Verdict by June
In today’s Coin Logic news flash, we are taking a look at Binance being under the microscope of FinCEN after the Bitzlato takedown, Ukraine is launching new tax regulations as announced at Davos, and Ripple’s CEO hints at a possible SEC verdict by June. These are just a few of the many headlines out there in the cryptocurrency news world, but they seem to be some of the hotter topics. So let’s dive in!
FinCEN lists Binance in the Bitzlato case
The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) has listed Binance as one of the top Bitcoin counterparties of Bitzlato, a peer-to-peer (P2P) exchange which is facing multiple enforcement actions from the US authorities for alleged money laundering and facilitating circumvention of sanctions against Russia.
The FBI arrested Bitzlato founder Anatoly Legkodymov on January 17 in Miami. Binance’s involvement in Bitzlato’s case raises concerns about the exchange’s operations and potential ties with Russia, as Binance was among the exchanges that opted to continue to serve non-sanctioned Russians after the European Union adopted the eighth sanctions package against the country.
This could mean big trouble for CZ and company. But, they were not listed at the top 3 Bitcoin senders during the time mentioned in the report. According to the FinCEN document, the biggest Bitcoin senders to Bitzlato between May 2018 and September 2022 were Hydra, Finland-based exchange LocalBitcoins and Finiko.
