Binance Is Under Investigation by the US Officials

US legal authorities have begun to closely monitor Binance, the world’s biggest cryptocurrency exchange.

The Washington Post reports that one of the most intricate struggles for investigators is to demonstrate that Binance falls under US law.

The subpoenas issued do not guarantee indictments; however, some federal prosecutors involved in the investigation believe that there is already enough evidence to make a case for criminal charges against Changpeng Zhao and other executives at Binance. It’s possible that aggressive action may be taken soon as a result.
