Bitcoin is being sold at a significant markdown on the Australian branch of Binance which is arguably the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world. Bitcoin price on Binance Australia was hovering around $23,062, compared to $29,000 on fellow Australia-based cryptocurrency exchange BTC
The latest development stems from the May 18 announcement from Binance Australia, which informed its client that it would temporarily halt Australian dollar services following a decision made by a third-party payments provider.

The ripple effect of the decision also saw Binance Australia halt AUD trading pairs for cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Cardano, Dogecoin, MATIC, and Solana.
The subsequent update involved users engaging in an alarming withdrawal spree of their digital assets and then putting them into Australian dollars before the June 1 deadline for local bank withdrawals.
Bank transfer deposits were promptly suspended, although withdrawals via PayID were set to continue until June 1 at 5 p.m. local time. Binance Australia also cautioned its Australian customers that any remaining Australian dollars on the platform after May 31 will be automatically converted to USDT.
In addition, the cryptocurrency platform issued a warning regarding the planned delisting of multiple trading pairs involving Australian dollars on June 1. Customers were also advised to be cautious and mindful of the risks involved in trading.

Changpeng Zhao, founder and CEO of the crypto company, has also been the subject of legal action from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The CEO, along with three affiliated entities of Binance, was hit with charges of unlawful activities and violating regulations set by the CFTC.
Binance, amidst its troubled waters, has, however, expressed its ongoing efforts to secure a new service provider to ensure the continuity of Australian dollar deposits and withdrawals. Customers can still use credit or debit cards to purchase and sell digital assets, with rates aligning with current market trends.
Swyftx, an Aussie cryptocurrency broker that previously relied on Binance for liquidity, had assured its users that the termination of Binance’s Australian dollar on-and-off ramps would have no impact on its own operations.

We hope you appreciated this article. Before you move on, I was hoping you would consider taking the step of supporting CryptoCaster’s journalism.
From Elon Musk, Larry Fink(BlackRock) to Jamie Dimon(JP Morgan Chase) a number of billionaire owners have a powerful hold on so much of the hidden agendas’ which eludes the public concerning the paradigm shift juxtaposed by cryptocurrency and web3 emerging technologies. CryptoCaster is different. We have no billionaire owner or shareholders to consider. Our journalistic efforts are produced to serve the public interest in crypto development and institutional disruptions – not profit motives.
And we avoid the trap that befalls much U.S. and global media – the tendency, born of a desire to please all sides, to engage in false equivalence in the name of neutrality and retail consumer protection. While fairness and transparency dictates everything we do, we know there is a right and a wrong position in the fight against fiat global banking interest and monetary reconstruction precipitated by the emerging crypto ecology.
When we report on issues like the FTX, Binance and Ripple crisis, we’re not afraid to name who or what is uncovered. And as a crypto sentinel, we’re able to provide a fresh, outsider perspective on the global monetary disruption – one so often missing from the insular American and European media bubble.
Around the world, readers can access the CryptoCaster’s paywall-free journalism because of our unique reader-supported model. That’s because of people like you. Our readers keep us independent, beholden to no outside influence and accessible to everyone – whether they can afford to pay for news and information, or not.
