A growing number of regulators worldwide have come after Binance.

Thailand\u2019s Regulator Files Criminal Complaint<\/h2>\n

The Thai Securities and Exchange Commission announced Friday that it \u201chas filed a criminal complaint against Binance \u2026 with the Economic Crime Suppression Division of the Royal Thai Police (ECD).\u201d According to the SEC:<\/p>\n

\n

Binance has solicited the Thai public and investors to use its services, either via its website or Facebook page: Binance Thai Community.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The securities regulator stated that it issued a warning letter to Binance on April 5 but the company failed to submit a response within the specified time.<\/p>\n

The SEC said that Binance is operating a crypto exchange business without a license. The company is therefore \u201cliable to criminal sanction under Section 66 of the Digital Asset Businesses Emergency Decree, i.e., imprisonment for a term of two to five years and a fine of 200,000 to 500,000 baht and a further daily fine not exceeding 10,000 baht for every day during which the contravention continues.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Binance, the Binance Group and Binance Holdings Limited are not registered, licensed, regulated or otherwise authorised by the authority to operate a crypto-currency exchange from or within the Cayman Islands.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

CIMA emphasized that companies incorporated in the Cayman Islands must either be \u201cregistered or licensed in accordance with the Virtual Asset (Service Providers) Act, 2020 \u201c or be \u201can existing regulated entity that has been granted a waiver by the authority.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recently, two other regulators issued warnings<\/a> on Binance: the U.K.\u2019s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and Japan\u2019s Financial Services Agency (FSA).<\/p>\n
