Binance strives to improve its services and offer better opportunities for users. The exchange, in line with its commitment to this goal, has updated the Fiat Liquidity Provider Program.

Binance is adding the MXN (Mexican Peso), and CZK markets (Czech Koruna), to its Fiat Liquidity Provider Program, starting April 10, 2024. This expansion will provide more opportunities for liquidity provider to contribute and participate on the platform.

Binance, in addition to the launch of new markets, has implemented a mechanism that evaluates performance for liquidity providers. This mechanism will review providers on a weekly basis based on performance. This will ensure that the liquidity is of high quality.

Binance will offer rebates on maker fees based upon the trading performance of liquidity providers across selected fiat markets. From April 16, 2024 onwards, liquidity providers can expect to receive rebates based on their trading performance from the previous week. The rebate amount is determined by the weekly spot maker volumes of each user as a percent of Binance's total spot maker volume on the eligible fiat markets.

Fiat Liquidity Provider Program is a new program that offers a variety of incentives to participants. Participants who qualify will receive standard VIP taker and maker fees for all pairs in the fiat markets that are eligible. Unqualified participants, on the other hand will receive zero maker fees as well as standard VIP takers fees for all pairs of fiat in these markets.

Users who wish to join the Fiat Liquidity Provider Program must have traded more than 20,000,000 USDT on Binance Spot & Margin, or any other platform in the past 30 days. The user must also demonstrate quality liquidity strategies. Interested users can apply for a trial period by providing proof of their trading volume to mmprogram@binance.com or contacting their sales or key account coverage team.

Binance reserves its right to disqualify any trades deemed as wash trades, or involving illegal bulk account registrations. This includes trades displaying attributes of self-dealing and market manipulation.

Binance prioritizes the security and integrity on its platform. These updates to the Fiat Liquidity Provider Program aim to foster a robust trading environment that is efficient for its users.

Recently, the world of blockchain investigation took a surprising turn when the famed pseudonymous researcher ZachXBT revealed what he described as borderline harassment from United States Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Unit (IRSCI). ZachXBT is known for his work tracking down scammers and fraudsters in the cryptocurrency world. He claims that IRS-CI overstepped personal boundaries when it sought his expertise.

ZachXBT shared images of an IRS-CI Special Agent's email on social media. The message was a praise for his "impressive" work in the industry, and included a request for help. ZachXBT was not pleased with the agency's intrusive approach, despite the positive tone. The IRS-CI is known for its stringent investigative measures, especially when dealing with the convoluted world of blockchain and cryptocurrency-related crimes.

The IRS-CI's interest in collaborating with blockchain experts is not surprising, given the increasing complexity and number of cryptocurrency-related cases. The IRS is intensifying its efforts to crackdown on tax evasion, and other financial crimes that involve digital currencies. While privacy advocates value the pseudonymity in blockchain transactions, it poses significant challenges to law enforcement agencies charged with ensuring compliance.

This incident, while the details of the IRS-CI request to ZachXBT are confidential, has highlighted the tensions between independent blockchain investigators as well as government agencies. ZachXBT, for example, often operates with a certain degree of freedom which allows him to conduct investigations without being constrained by bureaucratic protocols. On the other side, while government agencies like the IRS-CI are legally mandated to investigate criminal activity, they may not have the specialized expertise and agility of individual investigators.

The incident has led to a wider conversation in the crypto community on the balance between law enforcement cooperation and protecting individual privacy and autonomy. Some members of the community advocate greater collaboration because they believe it will lead to a safer and more legally compliant Blockchain ecosystem. Some community members fear that partnerships like this could compromise the independence of the crypto-world and expose well-intentioned researchers to legal risks.

The role of independent investigators such as ZachXBT, and their relationship with the government agencies will likely remain a hot topic in the future. As blockchain technology continues its evolution and interacts with legal frameworks. IRS-CI has not yet publicly addressed ZachXBT’s allegations of harassment, leaving the crypto-community to consider the implications of the uneasy alliance.

CyberConnect, an online social network, announced its latest partnership, with Space ID. Space ID is a network that provides universal name services.
