Zhao said that any exchanges into USDC from the stablecoin known as PAX, as well as Binance's own token BUSD, require steering through a bank situated in New York which isn't yet open. The idea from Zhao is that clients are hoping to change over their PAX and BUSD into USDC to pull out their assets from Binance.
A symbolic trade could be a way for Binance to get more USDC rapidly while the banks are shut to continue withdrawals for clients.

Financial backers are likewise monitoring a report from Reuters that U.S. Division of Equity examiners are postponing the determination of a criminal examination concerning Binance.
