Binance Australia Derivatives successfully launches crypto CFDs under an Australian Financial Services Licence
SYDNEY and NEW SOUTH WALES, Australia, July 21, 2022 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Binance Australia Derivatives has launched over-the-counter (OTC) derivative 
products, with crypto contract for differences (CFDs) now available for 
wholesale Australian customers under an Australian Financial Services Licence.

The launch of these financial products included a significant period of 
compliance and governance related processes and activities.

Led by the local Australian team, the operation to secure the licence was also 
supported by the global Binance business.

Binance Australia's commitment to working with local Australian regulators is 
strengthened by the news of obtaining this licence, having recently submitted a 
consultation paper to the Treasury providing recommendations on licensing and 
custody requirements for crypto exchanges.

Leigh Travers, Director of Binance Australia Derivatives said, "Launching 
crypto derivatives under an AFSL delivers on our core strategy of becoming a 
regulated institution in Australia. The Binance Australia Derivatives products 
will enable wholesale customers the opportunity to hedge their crypto portfolio 
as well as grow the total size of Australian crypto markets."

Changpeng Zhao, Chief Executive Officer of Binance added, "To attract the next 
billion crypto users, Binance is focused on building user trust through 
regulatory compliance, security, and strategic partnerships. The Australian 
crypto market is a unique opportunity due to the robustness of the financial 
services regime"
