Binance.US Defends Listing Process and Decision

Binance.US rejected claims of political favoritism after Senator Chris Murphy accused the exchange of rewarding President Trump . The senator suggested the USD1 stablecoin listing was linked to Trump’s pardon of BNB founder Changpeng Zhao. However, the exchange asserted the decision was business-related and unrelated to politics.

Binance.US Defends Listing Process and Decision

According to Binance.US , USD1, together with WLFI, has already been listed on more than 20 U.S. exchanges, including Coinbase and Robinhood. The company explained that its listing committee had passed its assets in the course of its usual operations. This was to put it more conclusively, a business decision of the exchanges.

It was noted in the exchange that the speculation is an unfair way of distorting normal business activities. Binance.US emphasized the transparency of decision-making and compliance in all its listings. It insisted that its practices are autonomous and aligned with the market practices.

Additionally, the company  has expressed concern about the fact that  leaders are now portraying crypto-related changes in a partisan manner. According to the firm, this type of allegation discredits both regulatory and business processes. It re-emphasized the fact that every listing is appraised using objective and pre-set frameworks.

Political Reactions to USD1 and Zhao’s Pardon

Last week, Senator Murphy alleged that Binance .US had included USD1 on its books as a payback on Trump having pardoned Zhao. He accused the exchange of promoting Trump cryptocurrency and having political connections. His remarks sparked controversy over the regulation of cryptocurrencies in political terms.

Democratic Representative Maxine Waters noted that the pardon issued by Zhao was also claimed to have been obtained after months of lobbying. She alleged that Zhao used billions to impact the political interests through World Liberty Financial. The scandal has sparked more debates on the ethical issues in the digital asset market.

World Liberty Financial’s stablecoin, is pegged against the U.S. dollar and is currently worth $2.97 billion. According to the exchange, the market position of USD 1 justifies its presence in the category of the best stablecoins. The company continues to maintain its campaign for fair treatment of crypto entities operating within the framework of U.S. regulations, despite criticism.
