Binance Reveals Shocking Numbers: Billions in Fraud Stopped, Millions Recovered
Over the past four years, Binance has quietly built one of the most extensive compliance and security frameworks in the crypto industry. The latest figures show just how massive that effort has becomeâand the numbers are hard to ignore.
Hereâs a look at what Binanceâs compliance operations have achieved:
7.5 million+ users protected from scams and malicious activity
$10 billion+ in potential fraud prevented
$97.4 million recovered in cooperation with INTERPOL and AFRIPOL, leading to 1,209 arrests
29 global security and compliance certifications
$1 billion+ SAFU Fund maintained to protect users
$6.69 billion in fraud prevented in 2025 alone
$131 million+ in illicit funds confiscated with Binanceâs support in 2025
These figures highlight the scale at which crypto exchanges now operateânot just as trading platforms, but as global financial security hubs working with international law enforcement.
A Compliance Team Bigger Than Many Startups
Behind these results is a massive internal investment. Binance now employs more than 1,500 full-time compliance professionals, representing 25% of its global workforce.
Their roles include:
Investigations and fraud prevention
Regulatory engagement across multiple jurisdictions
Security monitoring and incident response
Compliance system development
The company continues to recruit senior leaders and specialized experts worldwide to strengthen these operations.
A Changing Industry Standard
As crypto matures, exchanges are under increasing pressure from regulators, institutions, and users to maintain strict compliance standards. Binanceâs latest report suggests a clear strategic direction: investing heavily in security, law enforcement cooperation, and regulatory alignment.
The company also acknowledged that transformation is not always smooth. With higher standards come tougher decisions, and not everyone agrees with every change. Still, Binance says it will continue to reflect, improve, and raise its compliance bar.
The Bigger Picture
The numbers signal a broader shift across the industry. Crypto platforms are no longer just focused on growthâthey are now competing on security, compliance, and trust.
And if these figures are any indication, the next phase of crypto adoption may be driven not only by innovation, but by how well platforms can protect their users and work with regulators worldwide.
