WARNING: ACTIVE COMMUNITY SANCTIONS

The article Binance, along with other pages relating to blockchain and cryptocurrencies, is designated by the community as a contentious topic. The current restrictions are:

Limit of one revert in 24 hours: This article is under WP:1RR (one revert per editor per article per 24-hour period)

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be sanctioned.

Remedy instructions and exemptions

Enforcement procedures:

Violations of any restrictions (excluding 1RR/reverting violations) and other conduct issues should be reported to the administrators' incidents noticeboard. Violations of revert restrictions should be reported to the administrators' edit warring noticeboard.
Editors who violate any listed restrictions may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense.
An editor must be aware before they can be sanctioned.

With respect to any reverting restrictions:

Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions. In order to be considered "clearly established" the consensus must be proven by prior talk-page discussion.
Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as clear vandalism.
Clear vandalism of any origin may be reverted without restriction.
Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors that are not vandalism are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring. If you are in doubt, contact an administrator for assistance.

If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. Remember: When in doubt, don't revert!

Add to note #2 the original whitepaper of the Binance coin (BNB), since this information is missing at the moment. Which does not make sense for a top 10 cryptocurrency. This page has the original and a link to the newer version of the whitepaper: https://www.allcryptowhitepapers.com/binance-coin-whitepaper/. Johnvanrijck (talk) 10:35, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Headquarter: Malta" is false

Binance is not regulated by Malta's MFSA or any other Maltese governmental body. They even stated this themselves:

But they also claimed that the exchange had already informed the Maltese authorities that it was no longer seeking a license on the island, or an extension of “grandfathering”—a transitory period whereby license applicants were regulated by the MFSA pending the result of their license application.

Can someone with a WP account please correct this?

@MER-C: or @David Gerard: we have some repeated edits that appear to me to look like a paid editor MikoloIlas (talk · contribs) (a few suspicious edits of rock bands) over time, with repeated edits of Binance and Changping Zhao (Binance CEO).

Need to add Binance Partnership with WazirX Exchange Platform:-

Kindly add the below recommended content just below the existing content i.e "In September 2019, the exchange began offering perpetual futures contracts, allowing leverage as high as 125 times the value of the contracts".

In November 2019, Binance flourished its grip in India by acquiring WazirX, a Mumbai based cryptocurrency firm with the motive of promoting and adopting the use of blockchaiin technologies in India.

XRP/Flare Spark drop

Binance.com is accepting the XRP/Flare Spark drop which is solely based on a formula calculated by using its client's XRP deposits and not distributing to its US Customers. This is against the rules of the Flare Drop and it should not profit from such activities. I would like to make mention of this and the class action that is forming.

Good morning Ms. Duisimbekova,

The Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (the “Authority”) confirms receipt of your email and thanks you for the information provided.

Under the heading United Kingdom Move this to the beginning to keep events in chronological order

"In January 2021, the FCA began requiring firms dealing with cryptocurrency to register in order to comply with anti-money laundering rules."

Change "In June 2021, Binance was ordered by the UK's Financial Conduct Authority to stop all regulated activity in the United Kingdom."

To "In June 2021, The FCA issued the following statement "Binance Markets Limited is not permitted to undertake any regulated activity in the UK. This firm is part of a wider Group (Binance Group)." add reference [36] https://www.fca.org.uk/news/news-stories/consumer-warning-binance-markets-limited-and-binance-group

Add "The statement was not directed at activities carried out by Binance.com but caused confusion in the media with some news sources stating that Binance was banned in the UK." (keep references [34][35] as examples)

Add "Binance issued a clarification on their website in July 2021."

The lead reads

Binance is currently under investigation ...

This goes counter to MOS:RELTIME

Absolute specifications of time are preferred to relative constructions using recently, currently, and so on

The wording here should be changed to an absolute specification of time rather than a relative one.

Binance halts withdrawls

Binance has, on a number of occasions, halted withdrawls of various cryptoassets from their centralized exchange. (and did so earlier today for Bitcoin withdrawls halted for several hours).

Am surprised to not see this mentioned in the article, since the practice is controversial and can allow insiders to gain certain advantages in markets, especially when those markets are under stress and rapidly-changing prices are being seen. This article by Decrypt does provide a summary of several of the withdrawl halts over the past several years, and could be a source for improving the article.

BNB Chain and BNB Coin

BNB has been the third largest cryptocurrency by market cap now, I think the coin its self is notable enough for its own article. This article would talk about the BNB coin and about the BNB Chain.--Treehorn 1991 (talk) 13:22, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 2 September 2022

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Binance. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

In the BUSD section, the third word, 'BinanceUSD', is spelled incorrectly as "BinaceUSD". 2600:1700:D360:3900:C93E:D91E:DA57:DEC3 (talk) 19:41, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
