Binance’s Yi He warns against depositing Myanmar, Cambodia, discounted USDT funds

The significance here is less about a new rule than about expectation-setting: a co-founder is publicly narrowing the gap between what users assume Binance can absorb and what compliance and law enforcement can actually do. It lands hardest on users in or adjacent to gray-market payment channels, where discounted USDT and third-party accounts are routine. The freeze risk is the operative detail — exchange intervention is described as impossible once assets are flagged. Whether such public warnings change deposit behavior in these corridors, or merely shift the routing, is the open question.
