Bitcoin spreads soar 20 times higher on BinanceUS compared to Coinbase and Kraken. Check out the latest report about this below.

At the moment of writing this article, BTC is trading in the green, and the king coin is priced at $25,732.

Bitcoin spread soared dramatically on BinanceUS, the crypto exchange giant’s American affiliate.

The online publication The Block notes the fact that the BTC spreads against USDT and USD more than tripled within the past week — compared to modest changes from Coinbase and Kraken.

“In all, BinanceUS’s BTC spread soared 20 times wider than its competitors, according to crypto data firm Kaiko” the online publication notes.

The activity suggested the fact that users are selling off their BTC after the Securities and Exchange Commission brought a lawsuit against Binance, Binance US and Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao.

After the suit, BinanceUS announced a move to delist over 100 trading pairs and paused its OTC Trading Portal.

“BinanceUS said late Thursday that it would pause USD deposits ahead of an expected freeze on dollar payments services from its bank partners.”

According to the latest reports, it seem that Binance has been ordered to stop operating in Nigeria by the country’s markets regulator.

“Binance Nigeria Limited is hereby directed to immediately stop soliciting Nigerian investors in any form whatsoever,” said Nigeria’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), according to Reuters.

The regulator also made sure to state the fact that the exchange’s local operations are unregistered and unregulated.

“We are aware of the circular, however, the entity mentioned in the circular is not affiliated with us,” said a Binance spokesperson via Telegram. “We are therefore seeking clarity from the Nigerian SEC and remain committed to working with them cooperatively on the next steps.”
