    Binance’s 650% manpower increase aimed at rehabilitating rule-breaker image amid US crackdown

    Binance is no longer the cryptocurrency exchange it once was, and it no longer deserves to have its name tarnished, argues the company’s Head of Global Sanctions Chagri Poyraz.

    Poyraz says that Binance has made significant changes to its compliance program in recent years, and that it is now one of the most compliant cryptocurrency exchanges in the world. He points to the fact that Binance has been working with regulators around the world to ensure that it is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

    Poyraz also says that Binance has been taking a proactive approach to identifying and preventing financial crime. He says that the company has a team of dedicated compliance professionals who are constantly monitoring for suspicious activity.

    Poyraz says that Binance is committed to being a responsible and compliant cryptocurrency exchange. He says that the company is always looking for ways to improve its compliance program, and that it is committed to working with regulators to ensure that it is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

    Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency trading platform, has made significant progress in curbing illegal activity and providing services to terrorists and criminals. In an exclusive interview with The Block, Head of Global Sanctions Chagri Poyraz said that this shift was achieved in part by Binance increasing the number of employees dedicated to compliance by 650% in the last two years.

    Poyraz also said that Binance has been working with regulators around the world to ensure that it is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. He said that the company is committed to being a responsible and compliant cryptocurrency exchange.

    Binance has been under scrutiny from regulators for some time, but it appears that the company is making progress in improving its compliance program. The increase in the number of employees dedicated to compliance is a positive step, and it is clear that Binance is committed to being a responsible player in the cryptocurrency industry.

    The number of full-time compliance personnel at Binance has increased by 650% in the past two years, from 100 in 2021 to 750 in 2023. This is a significant increase that demonstrates Binance’s commitment to improving its compliance program.

    The increase in the number of compliance personnel is likely due to a number of factors, including:

    • The growing regulatory scrutiny of the cryptocurrency industry
    • The increasing complexity of cryptocurrency regulations
    • Binance’s desire to expand into new markets

    The increase in the number of compliance personnel is a positive step for Binance. It shows that the company is taking its compliance obligations seriously and is committed to being a responsible player in the cryptocurrency industry.

    It is important for cryptocurrency exchanges to have strong compliance programs in place. This is because cryptocurrency can be used for illicit activities such as money laundering and terrorist financing. By having a strong compliance program in place, Binance is helping to ensure that its platform is not used for these types of activities.

    The increase in the number of compliance personnel is also a positive sign for the cryptocurrency industry as a whole. It shows that the industry is maturing and is taking steps to comply with regulations. This is important for the long-term success of the industry.

    Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, has been under scrutiny from regulators and the public for some time. The company has been accused of harboring illicit funds and of operating without a clear headquarters, which has made it difficult to regulate.

    Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao has been a vocal defender of the company, saying that it is committed to compliance and that it is being unfairly targeted by regulators. However, the company’s critics say that it is simply too big and too powerful to be regulated effectively.

    Binance’s size and reach are certainly impressive. The company processes tens of billions of dollars a day and says it services more than 120 million users. However, its lack of a clear headquarters and its history of regulatory problems make it a risky investment for many.

    Only time will tell whether Binance can overcome its regulatory challenges and become a truly legitimate player in the financial world.

    The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) filed a lawsuit against Binance and its CEO, Changpeng Zhao, alleging that they violated U.S. law by operating a futures trading platform without registration. The CFTC also alleges that Binance helped terrorists and money launderers move funds.

    The lawsuit is the latest in a series of regulatory challenges facing Binance. In 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) of the United Kingdom ordered Binance to stop regulated activity in the country. And in 2022, the Japan Financial Services Agency (FSA) issued a warning to Binance, saying that it was not authorized to operate in Japan.

    The CFTC’s lawsuit is a major setback for Binance. If the CFTC is successful, Binance could be forced to pay significant fines and could be barred from operating in the United States. The lawsuit is also a sign that regulators are taking a tougher stance on cryptocurrency exchanges.

    The CFTC’s claims date back to 2017, and the agency also cited internal communications from 2019 and 2020 that appear to indicate that Binance knowingly offered services to international criminals. In its complaint, the CFTC said that Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao and former Chief Compliance Officer Samuel Lim took steps “to help customers evade Binance’s access controls.”
