Binance US Opts for a Strategic IPO Listing
Binance US will be competing for a public spot proceeding as a separate company that seeks branding from the global exchange Binance. The company will be taking a fresh initiative to go public in the upcoming months.
It is to be noted that Binance which is the leading cryptocurrency exchange was facing allegations from global regulators that involve claims such as the company being implicated in illegal trading in the USA. The concerning matter was later investigated by the States Department of Justice and the Internal Revenue Service. Later on, the company was approached by the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission on similar grounds.
Binance CEO Changpeng Zhang has asserted that the company is surely battling regulatory issues and interventions at the moment but is confident enough to accelerate the work operations by shifting the company into the financial domain from a previous tech setup.
The CEO has further admitted that they might encounter troubles with the regulators but this will never disregard the company’s vision to go public one day. Binance US is now pursuing ways to opt for a traditional initial public offering route to seek credible transition.
In a virtual blockchain summit called REDeFINE Tomorrow 2021, Zhao was seen communicating his plans regarding Binance’s prospects and strategies as well the company’s new goal that involves an IPO listing. Zhao later restated that the company will be expediting its compliance efforts that will also include hiring former regulators to speed things up.
In the summit held on Friday, Zhao was seen admitting the fact that the regulatory issue that the firm is currently facing will be mitigated very soon and the compliance efforts will be accelerated to localize communication in a structured manner.
