Binance remains committed to working with global regulators to ensure compliance and transparency in the ever-evolving digital asset space. We look forward to putting this incident behind us and continuing our efforts to create a brighter future for the global blockchain industry. Nigeria has a young, tech-savvy population with a strong interest in digital finance, fully capable of leveraging blockchain technology to address economic and social challenges. We look forward to playing a constructive role in this endeavor."Previous news from yesterday, according to DL News, Nigerian prosecutors withdrew criminal charges against Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan on Wednesday; Tigran Gambaryan has been detained in the African country since February.

He has been unjustly and unfairly imprisoned," Teng said at the TOKEN2049 conference held in Singapore on September 19."This is painful for all of us," he said, "especially for his family. For Binance, this is our top priority. We have an internal task force working around the clock to explore different avenues, from legal to political, to help Tigran return home."Teng hopes that the U.S. can designate Gambaryan as unlawfully detained to expedite the process.

His worsening health condition even caused him to faint suddenly during a court appearance in May.

ChainCatcher news, Binance CEO Richard Teng commented on the expectations of interest rate cuts, stating, "We expect that the expectations of interest rate cuts will have a significant impact on the prices of crypto assets. Lower interest rates enhance the liquidity of the financial system, thereby boosting the demand for high-yield, high-risk assets, including cryptocurrencies. For example, from February 2020 to February 2022, when interest rates were near zero, the price of Bitcoin increased by 375%.Lower interest rates may raise concerns about inflation, prompting some investors to turn to cryptocurrencies to protect their purchasing power; low rates may also weaken the dollar, leading more investors to view crypto assets as an alternative store of value. Bitcoin and other crypto assets have unique characteristics that may influence their prospects during periods of interest rate cuts. One key factor to consider is the recent Bitcoin halving, as historically, price increases have generally occurred 6-18 months after similar events. The launch of spot ETFs could also facilitate easier transitions between stocks and cryptocurrencies, allowing the liquidity growth brought by interest rate cuts to flow into the crypto market.Moreover, while September is typically a weak month for crypto assets, prices usually begin to rebound in October, and the expectations of interest rate cuts may provide additional momentum as prices recover. The impact of the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts on the crypto asset market remains uncertain, but several indicators suggest that the policy changes in September may be timely for cryptocurrency investors. Lower borrowing costs and increased liquidity present a hopeful outlook for crypto assets. Historical trends and unique cryptocurrency-specific variables further enhance optimism that these policy changes could foster growth."
