Changpeng Zhao (CZ) mengkonfirmasi baru-baru inilaporan bahwa Paxos — platform infrastruktur blockchain teregulasi yang berbasis di AS — telah diarahkan untuk berhenti mencetak BUSD sesuai instruksi dari Departemen Layanan Keuangan New York (NYDFS).
“Paxos akan terus melayani produk, dan mengelola penukaran,” kata CZ, menambahkan bahwa “Paxos juga meyakinkan kami bahwa dananya #SAFU, dan sepenuhnya ditanggung oleh cadangan di bank mereka, dengan cadangan mereka telah diaudit berkali-kali oleh berbagai firma audit. .”
“Saya tidak punya informasi tentang itu, selain artikel berita publik. Gugatan tersebut antara US SEC & Paxos,” CZditambahkan .
Namun CZ menegaskan kembali poin lamanya bahwa dia tidak percaya BUSD harus tunduk pada undang-undang sekuritas, karena apa yang dikenal sebagai kriteria Tes Howey. Menurut Mahkamah Agung AS, suatu barang dapat menjadi jaminan jika memenuhi empat kriteria berikut:
“Jika BUSD diatur sebagai keamanan, itu akan berdampak besar pada bagaimana industri crypto akan berkembang (atau tidak berkembang) di yurisdiksi di mana ia diatur seperti itu,” kata CZ.
Tanggapan datang kurang dari 24 jam setelah The Wall Street Journal awalnyadilaporkan bahwa NYDFS menginstruksikan Paxos Trust Co. — penerbit stablecoin Binance USD (BUSD) — untuk menghentikan pembuatan BUSD lebih lanjut.
“Binance akan terus mendukung BUSD di masa mendatang. Kami memperkirakan pengguna bermigrasi ke stablecoin lain dari waktu ke waktu. Dan kami akan membuat penyesuaian produk yang sesuai. misalnya, menjauh dari penggunaan BUSD sebagai pasangan utama untuk trading, dll.”
“Mengingat ketidakpastian peraturan di pasar tertentu, kami akan meninjau proyek lain di yurisdiksi tersebut untuk memastikan pengguna kami terlindungi dari bahaya yang tidak semestinya,” tambah CZ.
Pada 13 Februari, BUSD merosot ke 0,9950 terhadap pasak 1:1 dolar AS sehubungan dengan berita Paxos.
