It's not just all about its popularity but I guess wherever is the huge volumes can be found, we're also there whether it is centralized or decentralized, with controversies or with active cases or none, etc.
I am not digging about this issue because I am expecting more like this to come.
If we have noticed, authorities have been long at it towards binance, but nothing solid yet has been published towards this exchange.
Something that will put their traders to stop using this exchange, but instead users are continuously using this platform.
It goes to show that people still trust this exchange despite of those news surrounding their business.
Maybe because binance knows what they are doing and they are taking care of their customers by not screwing their funds for one.
They are too strict with Binance and that's why these incidents will keep coming to them and that's also the reason why they just made a decision to just leave that market for them.
Let alone the other big exchanges dominate that market for them while focusing on the region where there's no too strict policies that are being striked on them.
