Is Binance in hot water? CZ sued by the CFTC — Watch The Market Report

This week on The Market Report, our beloved host, Joe Hall, and insightful expert Sam Bourgi, unfortunately, could not make it, but don’t worry because Marcel Pechman is here to breakdown everything that is happening between the United States Commodities Futures and Trading Commission, Binance and Changpeng “CZ” Zhao.

Breaking: Binance and CZ sued by CFTC over US regulatory violations

The cryptocurrency exchange has been the focus of a CFTC investigation since 2021. The exchange acknowledged in February that it would likely face regulatory action in the U.S. and was already working with regulators.
