Could you explain to me why Binance is currently facing trouble? I've noticed that this major cryptocurrency exchange has been making headlines for various reasons lately. Is it due to regulatory issues, security breaches, or something else? Could you provide a detailed overview of the current situation and the factors contributing to Binance's challenges? Additionally, do you believe that these issues will have a significant impact on the cryptocurrency industry as a whole, or is Binance's situation more isolated?
