Based on latest reports, Binance, the world’s biggest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume; has taken action against a market maker associated with GoPlus Security (GPS) and MyShell (SHELL) for trading irregularities. In an official March 9 post; Binance announced that it has banned the entity from market making, seized its funds and will compensate affected users.

This move is part of Binance’s efforts to improve ‘transparency; fairness and accountability within its trading ecosystem. It also ‘shows the exchange is scrutinizing market makers; who play a crucial role in providing liquidity and reducing price volatility but can also be manipulated for unfair advantages.

Why Binance Took Action Against the Market Maker

Market makers are the backbone of cryptocurrency markets, constantly placing buy and sell orders to provide liquidity and reduce slippage. But Binance enforces strict rules to prevent manipulative market making that can distort prices or harm investors.

The banned market maker was reportedly found to have violated Binance’s trading rules, which are:

– Maintain a fair order book with balanced buy and sell orders.

– Provide adequate liquidity without artificial price inflation or deflation.

– Prevent disruptive trading behaviour, such as order book spoofing or wash trading.

By shutting down the entity, Binance is protecting user interests and upholding market integrity, sending a strong message that unethical trading will not be tolerated.

Impact on GPS and SHELL Tokens

After Binance’s announcement, the affected tokens, GPS and SHELL saw immediate price movements:

– GPS (GoPlus Security): Plummeted by over 14%.

– SHELL (MyShell): Initially dropped by 4% but has since recovered.

These price movements show how market maker activities affect token prices, especially when enforcement actions happen suddenly and unpredictably. Binance will use the seized funds to compensate affected users but has not yet released the compensation plan. GoPlus Security and MyShell will provide further updates on the distribution process.

This is in line with Binance’s goal of a safe trading environment where users are protected from market manipulation and irregularities.

New Token Listing and Delisting Governance Model

As part of its transparency and user empowerment push, Binance introduced a new governance model on March 7 where users can vote for token listings and removals. Key features of this system are:

– Voting Rights: Binance users holding at least 0.01 BNB can vote on whether a token should be listed or delisted.

– Community Influence: Decisions will no longer be made solely by Binance but will take into account user feedback.

This increases community participation in Binance’s listing decisions, reducing the risk of arbitrary token removals and ensuring projects meet trader expectations.

Expanded Listing Features

Binance has also added more features to the token listing process:

– Pre market trading for selected tokens.

– Direct listings, no intermediaries.

– Launchpool farming, earn rewards by staking tokens.

And Binance confirmed no listing fees and all marketing budgets allocated by projects for listings will be returned to users via airdrops.

CZ’s Thoughts on the Market

CZ (Changpeng Zhao), Binance’s founder and former CEO, commented on the current state of the market in a post on X (formerly Twitter). He said too much capital is chasing short-term gains instead of supporting ethical teams that are committed to long-term innovation and industry growth.

CZ emphasized patience and strategic investments, told investors to focus on sustainable development rather than quick profits from speculative trading. This aligns with Binance’s recent actions, meaning responsible market participation.

What does this mean for Binance users

1. More protection against market manipulation

Binance is saying violations of market making policies will not be tolerated. Users will see a more transparent trading environment with stricter enforcement of ethical trading standards.

2. More control over listings

The new user driven governance model means Binance traders will have a say in which tokens are listed or delisted, so community preferences will shape the offerings.

3. More transparency in listings and promotions

Binance is eliminating listing fees and making marketing budgets transparent, so users will see a more fair and accountable listing process.

Conclusion

Binance’s shutdown of the GPS & SHELL market maker shows zero tolerance for unethical trading activities. This, along with new governance and listing features, means transparency, fairness, and user protection. As the market evolves, Binance is setting the standard for tougher enforcement and user-focused policies so all users can have a safer and more transparent trading environment.
