Binance is set to stop its crypto margin trading involving sterling, the euro and Australian dollar, as the world's large cryptocurrency exchange seeks to stave off a widespread regulatory backlash against some of its services.
- Binance will conduct automatic settlement, cancel pending orders and delist all affected pairs by Aug. 12.
- Binance has been the target of a string of warnings and denouncements from financial regulators the world over in recent weeks, including those of the U.K., Japan, Italy and Thailand.
- Less than a fortnight ago, the exchange said it was ending support for its stock market token offering that had drawn consternation from several financial watchdogs.
