🚨 JUST IN: Binance is pushing back hard on Sen. Richard Blumenthal’s inquiry, saying allegations that Iranian-linked accounts operated on the platform are false and framing the probe as an “attack on crypto.”
What triggered this: Blumenthal opened an inquiry after recent reporting alleged Binance enabled large-scale flows tied to Iranian proxies and Russia’s “shadow fleet”, and claimed Binance ignored warning signs and provided support to illicit actors.
Binance’s response: In a formal public statement, Binance says Blumenthal’s letter repeats a claim attributed to a Wall Street Journal report—specifically, that Binance compliance identified thousands of Iran-associated accounts—calling that claim incorrect. Binance says it bars users located in Iran, and that it runs strict KYC and compliance controls.
Why it matters: This sets up a high-profile Washington fight at the exact moment the industry is lobbying for clearer U.S. market structure rules. If the Senate inquiry escalates (document requests, hearings, referrals), it can become a fresh overhang for the exchange—even as Binance argues it has tightened controls and is being politically targeted.
