Binance, a major player in the cryptocurrency industry, has been making headlines due to legal troubles and controversies involving its founder, Changpeng Zhao.

Additionally, survivors of terrorist attacks have filed a lawsuit against Binance, accusing the exchange of providing 'material support' to terror groups. These legal issues have contributed to uncertainty in the cryptocurrency industry, with other prominent figures like Sam Bankman-Fried also facing legal challenges.
