According to Reuters, holders of the first cryptocurrency on the Binance Australia platform are selling bitcoin at a discount of 9,000 Australian dollars (almost $6,000).
On the Binance Australia platform, the price of bitcoin was around 34,000 Australian dollars ($23,000). At the same time, on the local cryptocurrency exchange BTC Markets, the price of the first cryptocurrency reached 43,000 Australian dollars ($28,050), and outside of Australia, bitcoin was trading at $27,790.
Reuters suggests that such a discount is a sign that clients were eager to close their positions quickly. Binance has not yet commented on the situation.
Recall that the Australian regulator canceled Binance’s license to provide financial services in April. In May, Binance Australia suspended banking operations through PayID. In addition, Westpac, the largest bank on the continent, has banned its customers from making deposits on the cryptocurrency exchange.
