SINGAPORE - The decision to stop Binance.com operating payment services here is a necessary step, given the scrutiny the cryptocurrency exchange has faced globally, industry observers said.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) said on Thursday (Sept 2) that Binance, the operator of Binance.com, has been put on the Investor Alert List.
