Binance's Mysterious Russian Exit

币安神秘退出俄罗斯

CommEx's closure comes amidst scrutiny of Binance's operations in various jurisdictions. In September 2023, Binance announced its intention to exit the Russian market following the departure of its top local executives, including the vice president of Eastern Europe, Gleb Kostarev.

CommEx 的关闭正值币安在各个司法管辖区的运营受到审查之际。 2023 年 9 月，在东欧副总裁 Gleb Kostarev 等当地高管离职后，币安宣布打算退出俄罗斯市场。

Weeks later, Binance confirmed the sale of its entire Russian business to CommEx, a newly established exchange. However, details regarding the founders and executives of CommEx remained undisclosed.

几周后，币安确认将其整个俄罗斯业务出售给新成立的交易所 CommEx。然而，有关 CommEx 创始人和高管的详细信息仍未披露。

Subsequent statements from CommEx emphasized its independence from Binance, although it acknowledged that some of its core members had previously worked for the global cryptocurrency giant.

CommEx 随后的声明强调其独立于币安，尽管它承认其一些核心成员此前曾在这家全球加密货币巨头工作。

The opaque nature of the deal sparked speculation among Russian crypto enthusiasts, who noted similarities between the websites of Binance and CommEx, leading to the characterization of the latter as a "Russian version" of Binance.US.

该交易的不透明性质引发了俄罗斯加密爱好者的猜测，他们注意到 Binance 和 CommEx 网站之间的相似之处，导致后者被描述为 Binance.US 的“俄罗斯版”。

At the time of the sale, Russia constituted the top market for Binance.com in terms of user visits, accounting for approximately 6.9% of total traffic.

出售时，俄罗斯是 Binance.com 用户访问量最大的市场，约占总流量的 6.9%。

Legal Woes for Binance and Former CEO Changpeng Zhao

币安和前首席执行官赵长鹏的法律困境

The Binance-CommEx deal occurred as former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao and the exchange faced legal challenges in the United States. In June 2023, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a lawsuit against Binance, alleging the sale of unregistered securities and illegal operations within the United States.

币安-CommEx交易发生之际，币安前首席执行官赵长鹏和该交易所在美国面临法律挑战。 2023 年 6 月，美国证券交易委员会（SEC）对币安提起诉讼，指控币安在美国境内销售未注册证券和非法经营。

In the wake of the SEC's lawsuit, Zhao resigned from Binance and pleaded guilty in November 2023. He remains on bail in the United States with a $175 million bond after a judge denied his request to travel to the United Arab Emirates to visit family. Zhao's sentencing, initially scheduled for February 2024, has been postponed to late April.

在 SEC 提起诉讼后，赵从币安辞职并于 2023 年 11 月认罪。在法官拒绝了他前往阿拉伯联合酋长国探望家人的请求后，他仍在美国保释，并缴纳了 1.75 亿美元的保释金。赵原定于 2024 年 2 月宣判，现已推迟至 4 月底。
