Binance har konverteret hele kryptoen i sin nødforsikringsfond på 1 milliard dollar til stablecoin USDC.
The top global crypto exchange established the “Secure Asset Fund for Users” (SAFU) in 2018 to protect Binance users from “extreme situations.”
The fund has typically attempted to maintain a balance worth $1 billion, though fluctuating crypto prices have impacted the value of its holdings over the years. In late 2022, the fund held $700 million worth of Binance USD (BUSD) and BNB, as well as $300 million worth of Bitcoin (BTC).
Early last year, however, BUSD’s issuer, Paxos, received a “Wells Notice” from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In the notice, the regulator stated that it was “considering recommending an action alleging that BUSD is a security and that Paxos should have registered the offering of BUSD under the federal securities laws.”
The New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) also ordered the crypto company to freeze production of BUSD, which aims to maintain a peg to the US dollar, and Paxos subsequently announced that it would end its relationship with Binance for the branded stablecoin.
As a result, Binance swapped out the SAFU BUSD holdings for the stablecoins USDT and TrueUSD (TUSD) in March 2023.
Nu er alle disse beholdninger blevet konverteret til USDC, den næststørste stablecoin efter markedsværdi. Binance siger, at skiftet "forbedrer pålideligheden."
Top amerikanske kryptobørs Coinbase og Circle skabte USDC i 2018 og administrerede i fællesskab aktivet gennem Center Consortium indtil sidste år.
I august sagde Coinbase administrerende direktør Brian Armstrong og Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire, at Circle ville bringe alle USDC's ledelses- og driftsansvar internt.
