I'm an Australian crypto investor, and I've heard a lot of talk about Binance, one of the largest crypto exchanges in the world. But I'm confused, why can't Australians stake on Binance? Is it because of some regulations or legal issues? I'm really interested in staking my crypto assets to earn some extra income, but I'm not sure where to start. Can you help me understand the situation better?

    The decision by ASIC followed an investigation earlier this year, which revealed that Binance had incorrectly classified hundreds of retail customers as wholesale investors.

    This classification error was a violation of financial regulations and led to ASIC's decision to withdraw Binance's licence.
