- 4️⃣ CZ pleads guilty. The DOJ made its move. $4.3B fine against Binance. CZ is out. What does this all mean? Full breakdown further below.
- 😮💨 SEC sues Kraken. Gary won't quit. The SEC sued Kraken for acting as an unregistered securities exchange.
- ☠️ Bittrex is just about dead. The global exchange will shut down trading on Dec 4, though withdrawals will still be possible.
📊 Crypto shrugs off DOJ: The DOJ probably had the opportunity to take a Binance kill shot, but it didn't. It instead levied a hefty fine that Binance can likely afford while forcing CZ to step down and face criminal charges while still holding onto his ownership. BNB barely budged and the crypto market sighed in relief.
