“At Binance, we periodically review our products and services to ensure that our resources continue to be focused on core efforts that align with our long-term strategy.

The announcement comes right on the heels of Binance US filing to limit the US SEC from overstepping its investigation boundaries according to an earlier agreement. Binance and its subsidiaries have been facing increased regulatory handles, especially in the US where it is being accused of offering unregistered securities alongside its rival Coinbase.
