A recent binary update revealed that the Signature Bank, a leading provider of Rapid Gateway Services, will partially end access to binary clients as of February.
The update that a client tweeted from BINANCE reads as follows:
“The banking partner that serves your account has advised that they are no longer able to process SWIFT fiat (USD) transactions for individuals of less than 100,000 USD as of 1st of February 2023.”
Hours after the announcement, concerns were raised about the possibility of other US banks limiting exposure to cryptocurrencies by regulating their SWIFT gateway. However, Some in the crypto community expressed optimism that a rapid ban on a large scale is unlikely, adding that this seems to be a single instance where the New York-based bank limits crypto exposure, that was recently reviewed for their internal blockchain, signet.
Signature bank unveiled in December its project to reduce exposure to crypto repositories after the impact of the fall in ftx caused its share price to fall by 67%. In 2018, the bank launched bookmark, a multi-function instant payment platform based on blockchain for commercial users. Compete against the giants of the World Bank such as JP Morgan, the bank has boasted of a platform that has reduced the traditional fast delays from 3 days to 30 seconds and a measure of in-depth knowledge compliant fincen to prevent malicious players. It had onboarded the creme de la creme of crypto in a short time, sparking surprise amongst financial analysts familiar with the watertight regulatory terrain of the US.
Following The fallout from ftx, the alleged reports now reveal a number of other crypto companies—such as binance, nexo, huobi, and genesis trading—that are being investigated and whose signatures have been approved for the use of bookmarks. There are still many answers to be given about the due diligence of the signing.
Swift, synonymous with global interbank transactions, provides a unified gateway for the exchange of information and transactions by financial institutions around the world. In the crypto industry, swift is crucial to the institutional adoption of crypto because it is the most widely used gateway to attract new user entries into crypto.
A rapid shutdown will mean a significant paralysis for cryptography, which still depends on the fiat inflow to develop its ecosystem. The war in Russia witnessed the first time that rapid access was brought to an end, causing cryptography to rise through illegal platforms such as bitzlato to circumvent restrictions.
