Binance Strengthens Compliance for Safer Crypto Ecosystem

Binance Expands Global Compliance Efforts to Improve Crypto Security

Binance, a global cryptocurrency exchange, has shared updates about the progress it is making in improving its compliance and regulatory standards. The company says these efforts are part of its long-term goal to help create a safer and more transparent environment for the crypto industry.

In recent years, Binance has increased its investment in strengthening its global compliance structure. This includes expanding its teams, upgrading internal systems, and improving operational controls so they align with changing regulatory requirements in different markets.

According to the company, these steps are meant to support responsible growth and innovation in the digital asset space while keeping user protection, financial integrity, and market transparency at the center of its operations.

Leading with Strong Compliance Measures

The dual-speed structure consists of enhanced transaction monitoring systems, strict Know Your Customer (KYC) controls and continuous improvements to anti-money laundering (AML) systems. They are meant to safeguard users, combat unauthorized use and comply with evolving executive mandates around the world.

Building the Future of Crypto with Advanced, Measurable Compliance

Over the last few years, Binance has developed a strong compliance framework within the digital asset industry. The company has combined experienced professionals, modern monitoring technology, and partnerships with regulators, law enforcement agencies, and independent analytics firms to strengthen its compliance structure.

This system includes strict onboarding checks, detailed Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures, advanced transaction monitoring tools, sanctions screening processes, and behavioral analytics. Binance has also created a large global compliance team with more than 580 specialists. These efforts are supported by over 970 additional employees working in compliance-related roles across customer service, technology, and product teams.

The results of these efforts are measurable. Binance reports that its direct exposure to illicit activity fell by 96% between January 2023 and June 2025. At the same time, the company has expanded its ability to detect, report, and help stop financial crime.

Sanctions-related exposure also dropped sharply, decreasing from 0.284% in January 2024 to 0.009% in July 2025, a reduction of 96.8%. According to the company, this progress comes from ongoing cooperation with authorities, independent research, and experience gained from serving more than 300 million users worldwide.

Binance Chief Compliance Officer Noah Perlman stated that the company has built systems designed to anticipate risks, noting that the reduction in illicit exposure reflects the work of more than 1,500 professionals focused on protecting users.

Driving Industry-Wide Standards

Binance’s leadership says compliance is a shared effort. The company works closely with regulators, policymakers, and industry partners to encourage cooperation. These discussions help support balanced rules that allow innovation while also protecting users and maintaining stability in the wider financial system.

Transparency and User Protection

Transparency is still at the heart of Binance’s compliance strategy. The company provides regular updates about its initiatives and engages with regulators and the community to keep helping build solid standards for user security and platform integrity.

National Cybercrime Units Collaborations

Binance works closely with law enforcement agencies around the world and responds to a large number of official requests each year. In 2025, the company handled more than 71,000 law enforcement requests and helped authorities confiscate over $130 million linked to illicit funds.

The exchange also supports several international and national agencies, including Europol, INTERPOL, the DEA, the NCA, Homeland Security Investigations, and other national cybercrime units. Through these collaborations, authorities have been able to disrupt ransomware groups, shut down darknet marketplaces, and take action against human-trafficking networks and financial fraud operations. According to Binance, these efforts have been acknowledged by many global law enforcement partners.

Richard Teng, Binance co-CEO, stated that the company’s goal of expanding financial freedom must be supported by strong trust and security. He noted that compliance has been built into the platform’s core systems.

Since its launch in 2017, Binance says it has focused on user protection and responsible growth in digital finance, supported by ongoing compliance investment and international cooperation.
