    <p>The <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Australia" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/australia.html">Australia</a>n Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has issued a press release detailing $13.1 million in payments to <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="users" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/users.html">users</a> of <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Binance" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/binance.html">Binance</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Australia" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/australia.html">Australia</a> Derivatives (also known as Oztures Trading Pty Ltd) for rule-breaking related to the misclassification of <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="users" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/users.html">users</a> as wholesale instead of retail.&nbsp;</p>
    <p>Binance Australia Derivatives failed to provide retail clients with legally required protections and, as such, has had to compensate users for ‘net trading losses and fees.’</p>
    <p>Binance Australia Derivatives canceled its Australian Financial Services License in April of this year. This cancellation came after ASIC started a “targeted review of Binance’s financial services business in Australia” and after “ASIC issued a notice of hearing.”&nbsp;</p>

It also includes warnings from the UK, Japan, Italy, Singapore, the Netherlands, Canada, and Thailand.</p>
    <p>ASIC <strong>has pursued other cryptocurrency companies</strong>, including Finder for its Finder Earn crypto lending product, and it was investigating FTX at the time of its collapse.&nbsp;</p>
