The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is reportedly investigating Binance’s initial coin offering of its crypto token Binance Coin (BNB), which was launched in 2017. At that time, it was not registered with SEC, according to sources quoted by Bloomberg. Initial coin offering is when a company offers its crypto coin for the first time to public investors.
“As the industry has grown at a rapid pace, we have been working very diligently to educate and assist law enforcement and regulators in the US and internationally, while also adhering to new guidelines,” a spokesperson for Binance told Coindesk.
