BlockBeats message, January 24, Binance founder CZ stated during an interview with CNBC in Davos, when asked "If you could do it all over again, what different choices would you make," that "I would have blocked U.S. users from day one. That's the most critical point; the core issue is regulatory. When we initially built the technology platform, we actually had U.S. users, and I was in Shanghai at the time. We were just a small tech startup. But about six years later, we realized that this situation was deemed a violation of the Bank Secrecy Act. If I had known this at the time, if I could do it over, I would definitely have blocked U.S. users from day one; that would have saved us a lot of trouble."
