A recent controversy has emerged involving Binance.US, a US arm of the cryptocurrency exchange giant Binance. Senator Chris Murphy alleges that the platform promoted cryptocurrencies linked to former President Donald Trump’s business interests after his pardon of Changpeng Zhao, the former CEO of Binance. Zhao was pardoned following his involvement with USD1 and WLFI tokens listed on Binance.US. The exchange denies any political influence on its listing decisions, emphasizing a rigorous review process for all assets. This controversy raises concerns about potential conflicts of interest within the crypto market and has prompted calls for regulatory investigation. )
