DO NOT PAY FOR ICO's or TOKEN SALES WITH BINANCE WALLET! Direct Statement from Binance Staff

in cryptocurrency •  7 years ago  (edited)

Taking a similar stance as coinbase, you are no longer allowed to send funds from Binance directly to an ICO program or Token Sale, you must use your personal wallet. Here is the direct quote:

Statement on ICO or Token Sale Contribution from your Binance Account

"Fellow Binancians,

We would like to remind all of you to not contribute to ICO or Token Sale addresses directly from your Binance account. Please first withdraw your coins/tokens to a personal wallet address and contribute from there. Binance will not be able to recover the funds/tokens related to your contribution.

Thanks for your support!

Binance Team

Can someone explain why they would prefer this? Thanks!

Excellent question. I believe it is because they do not want the potential backlash from people who lost money on exit scams. For example, thousands of users may create support tickets attempting to have Binance reverse the transactions. This happens often, and will happen more often as more new people get interested in cypto without fully understanding how the blockchain works.

In short, they don't want any sort of liability to be shifted on them.

Ahhh. Great response. There are always going to be those people... =\
