Binance Shuts Down Rogue Market Maker

Oh, the drama, darling! Binance has given the old heave-ho to a market maker linked to those frightfully suspect GoPlus Security and MyShell. It seems they were up to no good, and Binance has had enough of their shenanigans.

According to a rather stern announcement on Binance’s official blog, the exchange has terminated the entity from market-making activities and confiscated their ill-gotten gains to compensate the poor dears who were affected. The details of the compensation plan will be revealed later, but I’m sure it’s all quite thrilling.

Market makers, you see, are the ones who place buy and sell orders to ensure smooth trading and lower price volatility. But, oh dear, when they get a bit too clever for their own good, it’s a different story altogether. Binance has rules, darling, and this market maker broke them. Specifically, they failed to maintain a fair order book, ensure adequate liquidity, and prevent all sorts of naughty trading behavior.

As a result, investor uncertainty caused GPS to drop more than 14%, while SHELL has since recovered after declining 4%. Binance has reaffirmed its commitment to enforcing stringent adherence to trading standards, and I do hope they keep a close eye on those market makers.

This action is all part of Binance’s larger initiative to improve accountability and transparency. Users can now vote on token listings and delistings, thanks to a new governance model that the exchange introduced on Mar. 7. It’s all quite democratic, don’t you think?

Binance has also added several listing features, including pre-market trading for certain tokens, direct spot listings, and Launchpool farming incentives. And, darling, they don’t impose listing fees! How very generous of them.

Regarding the current state of the cryptocurrency sector, Changpeng Zhao, the founder of Binance, noted in a Mar. 10 post on X that too much money is chasing short-term gains rather than supporting ethical teams aimed at long-term growth. He stressed the need for patience and strategic investment for long-term success in the cryptocurrency industry. How very wise of him, don’t you agree?
