At a time when US authorities are discussing possibilities to create a better legal framework for the cryptocurrency industry, Binance co-founder He Yi has revealed the measures taken by the crypto exchange to ensure its compliance with the country’s law enforcement framework.

Here’s what she revealed.

Cracking Down on Misconduct and Fraud

He Yi stated that Binance has at least two U.S. law enforcement coordinators dedicated to ensuring the exchange follows regulations and cooperates with authorities when needed.

Binance takes a strict stance against misconduct. According to He Yi, the company has conducted 120 internal investigations over the past two years to detect and prevent fraud.

To enforce compliance, Binance has also taken action against employees violating company policies. In the last two years, 60 employees have been dismissed for their involvement in regulatory breaches.

Binance has recovered at least $30 million linked to illegal transactions over the past two years, highlighting its efforts to fight financial crime in the crypto industry.

He Yi acknowledged that Binance’s efforts to combat fraud are ongoing. The company is currently involved in two legal cases related to misconduct.

Binance’s Market Position Today

Since its launch in 2017, Binance has grown into one of the most dominant centralized crypto exchanges, earning a perfect trust score of 10 out of 10. The platform supports 394 coins and 1,335 trading pairs, with a massive 24-hour trading volume of $64.7 billion—a 237.7% increase in a single day. Its exchange reserves stand at approximately $144.9 billion.

Binance’s top five trading pairs are ETH/USDT, BTC/USDT, BTC/FDUSD, XRP/USDT, and ETH/FDUSD.

BNB, the exchange’s token, has a market cap of $83,739,348,716. In the last seven days, the BNB price has dropped by 11.4%. Meanwhile, in the last one hour, it has surged by 0.4%. 

Binance’s ongoing compliance measures show its commitment to following regulations and ensuring accountability. By recovering illegal funds, terminating employees involved in violations, and addressing legal challenges, the exchange continues to work toward maintaining trust in the crypto industry.

 

The fight for transparency and accountability remains a key challenge in crypto, but the industry seems to be maturing rapidly.
