Binance US Delists Crypto Token ‘out of an Abundance of Caution’ After SEC Says It’s a Security

Binance’s U.S. platform is delisting crypto token amp after the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) declared it a security. Another crypto exchange, Coinbase, disagreed with the regulator, arguing that the token is not a security.

Binance Delists AMP ‘out of an Abundance of Caution’


Binance’s U.S. exchange (Binance US) is taking action to ensure that crypto tokens the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has declared to be securities are not listed on its platform. The SEC recently said in a lawsuit against a former Coinbase product manager that níu dulritunarmerki eru verðbréf. Þeir eru AMP, RLY, DDX, XYO, RGT, LCX, POWR, DFX og KROM.

Binance US explained:

In its suit, the SEC named nine digital assets that it alleges are securities. Of those nine tokens, only amp (AMP) is listed on the Binance.US vettvangur.


“Out of an abundance of caution, we have decided to delist the AMP token from Binance.US, effective August 15, 2022,” the crypto exchange announced Monday.

Binance US detailed that on Aug. 15, AMP deposits on its platform will be closed at 9:00 p.m. EDT and the AMP/USD trading pair will be removed at 11:00 p.m. EDT. “All trade orders will be automatically removed after trading ceases for the trading pair,” the announcement states.

Kauphöllin skýrði frá því að hún er að stíga þetta skref þar til meiri skýrleiki er til staðar um flokkun dulritunargjaldmiðilsins, og bætti við að myntin gæti hafið viðskipti aftur einhvern tíma í framtíðinni.

The price of AMP fell sharply following the delisting announcement by Binance US. At the time of writing, AMP is trading at $0.0081411, down 11% in the past 24 hours.





Þó Binance US has taken a cautious approach to crypto tokens that may be deemed securities by the SEC, the Nasdaq-listed cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has chosen to fight the securities regulator.

Í kjölfar málssóknarinnar gegn fyrrverandi starfsmanni sínum birti Coinbase bloggfærslu þar sem fram kemur að það skrái engin verðbréf. Yfirlögfræðingur kauphallarinnar, Paul Grewal, skrifaði: "Coinbase skráir ekki verðbréf á vettvangi sínum. Enda sögunnar." Framkvæmdastjórinn gagnrýndi einnig SEC og sagði: „Í stað þess að eiga viðræður við okkur um eignirnar sjö á vettvangi okkar, fór SEC beint í málaferli.

Í síðustu viku birtust skýrslur um að SEC gæti verið að rannsaka Coinbase vegna skráningar á dulritunarverðbréfum.
