Binance Claims $300M Compliance Spend Amid Ongoing Regulatory Scrutiny

The exchange detailed its efforts in a June 29 blog post, highlighting that nearly 1,500 staff members, or roughly one-quarter of its workforce, are now dedicated to compliance roles. Binance claims this resource allocation represents 0.22% of total assets held, a figure it suggests exceeds the 0.14% industry average. Beyond fraud prevention, the company reported assisting global authorities with 313,653 law-enforcement requests to date, including 72,632 inquiries handled throughout 2025.

These disclosures arrive as Binance attempts to demonstrate a reformed posture following its 2023 U.S. settlement, where the firm admitted to anti-money-laundering and sanctions violations. While CEO Richard Teng maintains a zero-tolerance policy for illicit activity, the exchange continues to face external challenges, including staff turnover concerns and the suspension of certain European services due to MiCA licensing hurdles. These figures remain company-reported and have not been independently verified.
