In the midst of rapid developments in the digital asset industry, Binance continues to strengthen its internal systems to ensure security and compliance with global regulations. Through significant investments in technology and human resources, Binance now operates one of the strictest and most transparent compliance programs in the crypto sector.
The Success of Law Enforcement and Security
Throughout 2025, Binance demonstrates its active role in combating illegal activities through close collaboration with law enforcement authorities worldwide:
Rapid Response: Binance has responded to over 71,000 law enforcement requests to assist with various investigations.
Funds Recovery: The company successfully helped seize illegal funds amounting to over $131 million.
Global Education: The Binance team has conducted over 160 training sessions for law enforcement officials on how to detect and combat crypto-related threats.
Drastic Reduction in Sanction Exposure Risk
Independent industry data shows that Binance's risk mitigation measures have yielded tangible results in reducing exposure to sanctioned regions or entities:
Reduction in Sanction Exposure: Overall, sanction-related exposure decreased by 96.8% from January 2024 to July 2025.
Effectiveness of the System: The percentage of sanction exposure relative to the total trading volume on the exchange has been successfully reduced to 0.009% as of July 2025.
Specific Focus: Direct exposure to major exchanges in Iran that are under sanctions has also been successfully cut by 97.3% over the past two years.
World-Class Compliance Team
The strength of the Binance system is supported by a very large and highly dedicated team of experts. As of early 2026, more than 1,500 staff members, or about 25% of Binance's total global employees, work in compliance units or related roles.
This hundreds of millions of dollars investment ensures that every investigation is conducted independently. Compliance decisions at Binance are purely based on the applicable laws and procedures, not on commercial considerations or interventions from executive leadership or shareholders.
Licensing and Regulatory Oversight
Currently, Binance has secured licenses, registrations, and authorizations in 20 different jurisdictions. Additionally, Binance is the first cryptocurrency exchange to receive full authorization under the FSRA regulatory framework from ADGM.
In the last 18 months, all operational processes of Binance have undergone a series of independent external reviews, internal audits, and regulatory inspections to ensure increasingly robust governance and clearer monitoring procedures.
