Binance.US was founded in 2019 in response to regulations that impacted Binance’s business in the United States. U.S. regulators believed some of the crypto assets that Binance’s trading platform allowed a user to trade were essentially securities. A security is a category of financial products which includes stocks, bonds, and specialized derivatives like futures. Trading in securities in the United States requires extensive licensing. Rather than change its main exchange to suit U.S. regulations, Binance instead created a separate exchange for U.S. customers, called Binance.US.
SAN DIEGO (AP) — A Los Angeles man pleaded guilty Wednesday to participating in what prosecutors called a “textbook Ponzi scheme” that defrauded cryptocurrency investors worldwide of more than $2 billion.

These token burns are designed to increase the scarcity of the token and push the value higher. Safemoon initially launched with a circulating supply of one quadrillion tokens (!!!), although the development team burned 223 trillion of these right away. Over 400 trillion tokens have been burned so far, with this figure continuing to grow as the months go by.
The same goes for the Safemoon exchange compared to the exchanges from the competition. The number of products that the Safemoon ecosystem will host is smaller than competing coins. In the long run, less revenue will be generated on the Safemoon network, and this means the rewards from token staking will be less compared to platforms like Bitrise.
