Update: 13 Charges Filed Against Binance In US<\/strong>
\nThe US Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday sued Binance and its founder<\/a> for engaging in an “extensive web of deception, conflicts of interest, lack of disclosure, and calculated evasion of the law”. Since then, investors have taken out over US$780 million from the crypto exchange.<\/div><\/div>\n

In March 2022, Binance returned to Malaysia by investing in a local fintech, MX Global Sdn Bhd, a recognised digital asset exchange platform in Malaysia. It entered into an equity investment in MX Global and stated that it is working closely with local regulatory bodies to address concerns that led to the Securities Commission in Malaysia taking enforcement action against it back in August 2021.<\/p>\n

Perhaps you\u2019ve heard that you can use it to trade cryptocurrencies, or to earn income on the side. And if that has piqued your interest enough to try to open a Binance account, you may have also noticed something else \u2013 the exchange isn\u2019t actually authorised in Malaysia.<\/p>\n

What does this mean for aspiring traders and investors? Here\u2019s what you need to know about Binance, and whether you can use it in Malaysia.<\/p>\n
