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.

The decision by Coinbase to suspend BUSD could be interpreted as a warning from big cryptocurrency exchanges.
