The company recently made an investment in the business publication Forbes.
Binance's CEO aims to invest in 'one or two targets' in every economic sector.
Q4 2021 volumes have gone up or down and how much？
The maneuver comes in the wake of the recent investment made this year in the magazine publication Forbes. “We want to identify and invest in one or two targets in every economic sector and try to bring them into crypto,” 'CZ' Changpeng Zhao, Chief Executive Officer of Binance, commented in an interview.
According to him, if a single company in an industry, such as media, embraces crypto, the competition will increase, and other incumbents will be forced to follow suit. Regulatory rebukes have been aimed at Binances core exchange business, which allows traders to make bets on digital coins at a frantic pace. Binance earns most of its revenue through trading fees, which fluctuate with Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies prices, Zhao said.
In addition to hiring compliance and enforcement experts, Zhao said that the company was using customer-checking software that would be used by banks. In the UK, the exchange now has 70 employees, many of whom are involved with regulatory matters.
The FCA had requested “exhaustive disclosure” and hundreds of pages of documents related to anti-money laundering controls from Binance through a London-based affiliate, but it pulled that application last year.
