Stricter Measures Implemented by Binance to Address Account Misuse
Binance recently announced that they are taking more rigorous measures to tackle account misuse on their platform.

This approval will lead to the transition of all UAE residents’ accounts from the Binance Global exchange to the newly-regulated Binance FZE exchange.
- The exchange’s native token, BNB, was trading flat at $573 at the time of the announcement
