Binance did not respond to Cointelegraph’s request for comment about its links with HKVAEX or the exchange’s decision to withdraw the Hong Kong application.


Three other virtual asset trading platforms have withdrawn their operational license applications in 2024 for reasons that were not made public, including the prominent global crypto exchange Huobi.


Crypto Twitter community member Wu Blockchain speculated that the reasons for the withdrawal may involve a variety of reasons, including a request to change the audit company or provide more information.


At the time of its launch, HKVAEX was confused with VAEX, a different crypto exchange in Hong Kong tied to KuCoin.


At the time, an HKVAEX representative told Cointelegraph, “VAEXC is another applicant, and they have nothing to do with us.”

CommEx, a Russian crypto exchange with strong ties with Binance, officially announced it is shutting down operations and has halted deposits on March 25.


“We have to announce the gradual suspension of operations on the CommEX platform,” the firm said, recommending users to withdraw their assets immediately to third-party wallets.


Binance had previously hinted at exiting Russia in early September 2023 as top local executives, including vice president of Eastern Europe Gleb Kostarev, stepped down.


Subsequently, CommEx emphasized that it operated independently of Binance but admitted that some of its core members were former Binance staff.
