From Changpeng Zhao, our CEO:
In response to China’s decisions, we are moving our IP’s from Hong Kong to an offshore location. Now we have our IPs registered in BVI ( British Virgin Islands) and other locations. So we are registered in multiple locations and we have people in multiple locations. That way we will never be affected by one regulatory body.

Perhaps they are down because they are doing an infoSec audit because of the coincheck hack. Also read This article, this was published today. What are your thoughts on binance being down today?
