Coinbase to Suspend Binance USD Stablecoin
One of the biggest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, Coinbase, has declared that as of March 5th, it will no longer accept the Binance USD (BUSD) stablecoin on its platform. The exchange noted in a blog post that BUSD “does not meet our listing standards,” but it did not go into detail as to why. One of the numerous stablecoins to emerge in the cryptocurrency realm in recent years, Binance USD provides investors and traders with a stable alternative to the volatility of other cryptocurrencies. Regulators and industry players, who are worried about the possible risks stablecoins pose to financial stability, have increased their scrutiny of stablecoins. The decision by Coinbase to suspend BUSD could be interpreted as a warning from big cryptocurrency exchanges.
