<h3 id="binance-ramps-up-bets-on-tusd">Binance Ramps Up Bets on TUSD </h3> 
<p>The rollout of zero maker fee promotion for TUSD trading pairs adds to the recent speculations that Binance may be looking to make TUSD the largest stablecoin on its platform, particularly after US regulators ceased the issuance of new BUSD tokens earlier this year.</p> 
<p>In February, the world’s biggest crypto exchange <a aria-label="minted around $130 million (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.binance.com/en/feed/post/257191" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" class="deco-link">minted around $130 million</a> worth of TUSD coins in a few days, turning it into the fifth-largest stablecoin by market cap. The move came two weeks after the New York Department of Financial Services (DFS) <a href="https://tokenist.com/busd-issuer-ordered-to-stop-minting-new-tokens-report/" rel="dofollow" class="deco-link">ordered Paxos</a>, a blockchain infrastructure firm behind BUSD, to stop minting new coins. According to Binance, BUSD was issued and managed by Paxos, while the crypto exchange only licensed the asset’s brand.</p> 
<p>Since the DFS’s intervention, BUSD’s market cap plummeted drastically from $16.1 billion to $4.3 billion, forcing Binance to <a href="https://tokenist.com/binance-likely-looking-at-tusd-as-busds-replacement-after-regulatory-action/" rel="dofollow" class="deco-link">consider other options</a>. At the moment, TUSD’s market valuation stands at $3.14 billion, behind Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Dai (DAI), and BUSD.</p> 
<p>Meanwhile, Binance, recently <a href="https://tokenist.com/sec-sues-binance-and-changpeng-zhao-alleging-securities-laws-violation/" rel="dofollow" class="deco-link">targeted by the Securities and Exchange Commission</a> (SEC) in the US, <a aria-label="launched a regulated digital asset trading platform in Kazakhstan (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.binance.com/en/blog/ecosystem/binance-launches-a-regulated-digital-asset-platform-in-kazakhstan-7318383218004275432?ref=AZTKZ9XS&amp;utm_source=BinanceTwitter&amp;utm_medium=GlobalSocial&amp;utm_campaign=GlobalSocial" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" class="deco-link">launched a regulated digital asset trading platform in Kazakhstan</a>.</p>
