Abstract:China blocks Binance
Leading cryptocurrency exchange Binance has joined the growing list of websites that have been blacklisted by China.
On the evening of July 8, Beijing time, many users found that the Binance APP appear to be blocked in China and must use a VPN to log in.— Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) July 8, 2021
Chinas great firewall, which has restricted access to the cryptocurrency exchange, can be bypassed using a virtual private network (VPN) service.
Since last month, crypto users in China have been unable to search for popular cryptocurrency exchanges on Chinese internet services like Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU), Weibo (NASDAQ:WB), Zhihu, and Sogo amid reports of possible censorship. However, Binance's rivals, Huobi and OKEx, are still available in China.
The Chinese government has been tightening its cryptocurrency regulations since 2017 in an effort to control capital outflows. The worlds largest exchange was initially headquartered in China but was relocated due to the 2017 crypto ban.
Blacklisting Binance is arguably part of China‘s crypto crackdown, which saw the eradication of the country’s entire Bitcoin mining industry last month. Binance is also facing severe regulatory scrutiny around the world. Multiple U.K. banks have blocked payments to the trading platform.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies continue to face price pressure raising concerns among investors and traders outside and inside China.

In a significant ruling, a court in The Hague has ordered the cryptocurrency exchange Binance to disclose personal information of an account holder implicated in a major dating app scam. This directive follows a case involving a Dutch woman who fell victim to a “pig butchering” scam, leading to a loss of nearly €186,000 (approximately $200,000 USD) in what she believed to be a legitimate cryptocurrency investment.
In a November 4 filing, legal representatives for Binance and its CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) contested the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) amended complaint, asserting that the SEC merely pays “lip service” to a court ruling that excludes crypto assets from the definition of securities. The lawyers argue that despite this ruling, the SEC has continued to disregard its implications on digital asset trading
