Binance Africa has responded to the local government’s accusations
Another country that issued a warning against Binance was South Africa, which ended up being answered by the broker on their Twitter profile.
in a noteThe broker said it is aware of the FSCA notice but does not operate a “Binance Group” in the Seychelles.
“We are aware of the notice published by FSCA South Africa on 3 September and can confirm that http://Binance.com does not provide financial advice or any intermediary services. Furthermore, we do not have an entity called ‘Binance Group’ in Seychelles.”
