In the rapidly evolving world of digital finance, trust isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the foundation. At Binance, we believe that building trust takes time, effort, and heart. More importantly, it must be earned every single day.

Recently, there has been some misinformation regarding our compliance efforts. We’re here to set the record straight with facts, data, and a clear look at the industry-leading standards we uphold to protect our 230M+ users.

🛡️ Compliance is a Promise, Not Just a Policy

For Binance, compliance isn't just about following rules; it's about leading the industry toward a safer future. We have spent the last two years rebuilding and reinforcing our compliance framework from the ground up.

Key Highlights of Our Progress:

  • Massive Investment: We have invested hundreds of millions of dollars into our compliance infrastructure and advanced monitoring technology.

  • A World-Class Team: Our compliance business unit now includes over 1,500 dedicated professionals (roughly 25% of our global headcount), including former law enforcement officials and top-tier regulatory experts.

  • Independent Governance: Compliance decisions at Binance are handled independently, free from commercial or executive interference, and based strictly on law and established procedures.

📉 Real Results: A 96.8% Reduction in Risk

While no financial platform is entirely immune to bad actors, the true test of a responsible institution is how it detects and mitigates risk.

According to independent industry data, Binance’s sanctions-related exposure (both direct and indirect) plummeted by 96.8% between January 2024 and July 2025—falling to a minimal 0.009%. This demonstrates that our systems aren't just theoretical; they are working effectively in real-time.

🤝 Global Law Enforcement Partnerships

We don't work in a vacuum. In 2025 alone, Binance's security and investigations teams:

  • Processed over 71,000 law enforcement requests worldwide.

  • Helped authorities confiscate more than $131 million in funds linked to illicit activity.

  • Delivered over 160 training sessions to global investigators to help them better understand and tackle crypto-related crime.
