Binance ima objavio plans to cease support for off-chain fund transfers between itself and WazirX, effective August 11.
Users on the WazirX platform will not be able to transfer funds to Binance using the “Login with Binance” option. Instead, they will have to use the standard withdrawal and deposit process to complete their transactions.
Binance is moving away from the ongoing istrage against Zanmai Labs Pvt Ltd, the parent company of WazirX.
The Growing Feud between Binance and WazirX
The relationship between Binance and WazirX has not remained the same ever since the ED commenced an investigation of WazirX for allegedly facilitating pranje novca activities. As a result, $8 million belonging to the exchange was frozen.
The investigation of WazirX perhaps drew much media attention because it has been linked as a Binance-owned exchange after a supposed kupovina in 2019. Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao recently denied claims that Binance owned the exchange.
