Binance Pone una Recompensa de $5 Millones sobre Agentes de Listado Falsos a Medida que se Intensifica el Escrutinio
Binance ha lanzado una recompensa para denunciantes de hasta $5 millones como parte de una amplia represión contra los "agentes de listado" fraudulentos de terceros.
La bolsa advierte a los proyectos de criptomonedas que cualquier individuo que afirme influir en los listados en la bolsa está operando ilegalmente.
Binance Ofrece Recompensa de $5 Millones para Denunciantes mientras Aumenta la Represión contra Agentes de Listado Falsos
El anuncio, publicado el miércoles en una actualización de transparencia, llega en un momento sensible para la mayor bolsa de criptomonedas del mundo.
Binance enfrenta un escrutinio intensificado sobre sus prácticas de listado tras los supuestos incidentes de comercio interno vinculados a información filtrada sobre tokens.
En su aviso, Binance reiteró que todas las solicitudes de listado de tokens deben ser presentadas exclusivamente a través de sus canales oficiales, cubriendo Binance Alpha, Futuros y mercados Spot.
La bolsa enfatizó que no autoriza a corredores, consultores o intermediarios externos a negociar, facilitar o garantizar listados.
“Cualquier parte que afirme representar a Binance u ofrecer servicios relacionados con listados a cambio de pago está participando en un comportamiento fraudulento”, dijo la empresa.
Hallazgos de Auditoría Interna y Lista Negra
La bolsa reveló que una auditoría interna descubrió casos repetidos de individuos y empresas que se presentaban falsamente como facilitadores conectados a Binance mientras solicitaban tarifas a los fundadores de proyectos.
Como resultado, la bolsa ha puesto en la lista negra a siete entidades e individuos, incluidos:
BitABC
Central Research
May/Dannie
Andrew Lee
Suki Yang
Fiona Lee, y
Kenny Z
Según Binance, estas partes fueron identificadas por implicar falsamente relaciones con la bolsa o ofrecer servicios de listado pagados. La empresa dijo que se tomarían acciones legales “donde sea apropiado.”
El proveedor de datos de blockchain RootData muestra que uno de los grupos en la lista negra, Central Research, ha respaldado previamente varios proyectos cripto, incluidos Fireverse, Nebula Revelation, AKI Network, Fusionist y Artyfact.
De esos, solo Fusionist (ACE) actualmente se comercia en Binance. La bolsa no estableció ninguna conexión entre los hallazgos de la lista negra y decisiones de listado anteriores.
Para fomentar la denuncia, Binance dijo que los informantes que proporcionen evidencia verificable de actividad fraudulenta podrían recibir recompensas de hasta $5 millones, dependiendo de la calidad e impacto de la información presentada.
Binance Endurece las Reglas de Listado en Medio de la Reacción por Comercio Interno
Como parte de la actualización, Binance publicó un desglose detallado de cómo los proyectos avanzan a través de su ecosistema de listado, desde la exposición en etapas tempranas en Binance Alpha hasta listados de Futuros y eventual Spot.
La bolsa enfatizó que no cobra tarifas por las solicitudes de listado y que toda comunicación debe provenir directamente del equipo central de un proyecto.
Los proyectos que se haya encontrado que utilizaron intermediarios o terceros serán descalificados inmediatamente de las revisiones de listado actuales y futuras, advirtió Binance. Sin embargo, los equipos que informen proactivamente sobre agentes fraudulentos pueden recibir consideración prioritaria.
El anuncio sigue la confirmación de Binance a principios de este mes de que un empleado filtró información confidencial de listado relacionada con la moneda meme del “año de la fruta amarilla”. El co-CEO de la bolsa, Yi He, había abordado el incidente.
“Actualmente, la comunidad está participando en comportamientos comunitarios no relacionados con Binance al emitir monedas basadas en el Twitter oficial de Binance, mis declaraciones o palabras extraídas de publicaciones. Pero no podemos dejar de publicar solo porque alguien pueda venir buscando ángulos,” dijo.
Binance también divulgó que distribuyó $100,000 en recompensas a cinco informantes que ayudaron a exponer la mala conducta.
Tomados en conjunto, la lista negra, el programa de recompensas y la aplicación más estricta señalan un esfuerzo más amplio por parte de Binance para reconstruir la confianza en torno a su proceso de listado.#Binance $BNB

Why do the bullish predictions for Bitcoin remain valid? Top 3 key reasons

U.S. banks warn that OCC cryptocurrency letters could weaken the banking system
The U.S. banking industry has mounted a coordinated challenge to the approach of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). The opposition is directed at the regulator's efforts to integrate cryptocurrency companies into the federal banking system.
