Japanese Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama: Exchange rates should fluctuate in a stable manner to reflect economic fundamentals.Japanese Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama: Intervention in the foreign exchange market may be included among the various policy tools agreed upon in the Japan-U.S. Joint Statement.On March 4th, Lou Qinjian, spokesperson for the Fourth Session of the 14th National Peoples Congress, stated that the draft outline of the 15th Five-Year Plan, after extensive consultation, will be submitted to this session for review, approval, and promulgation, thus transforming the Partys propositions into the will of the state and the common action of the people through legal procedures. This session will also review the draft Law on National Development Planning, enshrining mature practices in law to better leverage the strategic guiding role of national development planning.On March 4th, Morgan Stanley released a report on the South Korean market, stating that the recent rise in international oil prices has triggered concerns about stagflationary pressures. The combined effect of a weak currency and high oil prices could lead to a rapid and partial transmission of inflation. However, given the backdrop of weak demand, the Bank of Korea is expected to remain cautious and not rush to raise interest rates. The report points out that South Korea is highly dependent on energy imports, with over 95% of its energy coming from imports, including 70% of its oil imports from the Middle East, making it directly affected by geopolitical conflicts. Analysis shows that for every 10% increase in oil prices, South Korean inflation could increase by 60 basis points (0.6%). Due to weak demand, monetary policy is unlikely to be used to curb transmission this year; government supply-side price control measures are more likely to be the preferred approach.A press conference was held for the Fourth Session of the 14th National Peoples Congress, where the spokesperson answered questions from Chinese and foreign journalists on the sessions agenda and related work.

Binance Caught in the Middle of Regulatory Scrutiny by SEC

While enjoying its position as the biggest cryptocurrency exchange in the world, Binance (BNB-USD) is forced to consider the trade-offs that come with it. Regulators from all around the globe paint a target on its back. The Securities and Exchange Commission is undoubtedly one of the organizations that is most committed to enforcing regulations in the digital asset sector (SEC). Although the SEC has been focusing on lesser fish in the public eye, it seems that Binance has been the object of their attention for some time.

 

According to a Reuters article, the SEC has been on Binance's trail for more than two years. The site claims that the agency has been asking Binance for internal information since at least late 2020.

 

This week, a particular request for further information about the business' anti-money laundering checks became public. Additionally, it searches for internal correspondence from Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, a prominent player in the cryptocurrency sector as a whole. Additionally, the communications of 12 other executives from Binance were sought.

Binance and Binance are noteworthy.

US is a distinct legal entity that caters to American clients solely. Since the SEC issued this request, Binance has named Brian Shroder as the CEO of Binance.US.

 

This story makes sense considering that the SEC's interest in cryptocurrencies had only just been known at the time. The request was made in December 2020, the same month that Ripple was the target of a lawsuit (XRP-USD). While the Ripple lawsuit focuses with the categorization of assets, it has now been shown that the SEC was also aware of the illegal nature of blockchain more than two years ago, demonstrating the depth of their interest at the time

The SEC Has Been Hot on Crypto's Trail, According to Binance News

The Binance announcement demonstrates that the SEC has been monitoring cryptocurrencies for a lot longer than investors would have thought. After all, other industries are just now starting to take notice of the area. For instance, the FBI didn't establish a crypto task force until February of this year. The SEC is really beginning to hold exchanges accountable now that it has established a strong presence in the market.

 

A member of Senator Cynthia Lummis' staff who supports cryptocurrency said last month that the SEC was looking into every single U.S. exchange. They also said that Binance, despite being a non-U.S. corporation, is under attack.

 

That is undoubtedly coming to pass. It has been adding additional inquiries into the corporation on top of this week's news about the past investigations. News of the agency's investigation of BNB, the exchange's native cryptocurrency, surfaced in June. Zhao is heavily criticizing this inquiry.

 

Even when it is not a specific focus of inquiries, Binance reacts quickly to news about the SEC and cryptocurrency. A Coinbase inquiry led to the exchange delisting the AMP (AMP-USD) coin in July (NASDAQ:COIN). Through its AMP listing, the business was charged by the SEC for concluding an unregistered securities offering. Binance sold the token in order to remove itself from more turbulence with the American authorities.

 

It's unclear if the 2020 inquiry is still active or connected to the remarks made by Lummis' employee. Although investors could soon get the answer to this question given how active the SEC has been in investigating more and more cryptocurrency firms.
