Blockchain security company CipherTrace
and Binance,
the largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume and users, today
announced their partnership to enhance the exchange’s robust anti-money
laundering (AML) compliance program. CipherTrace will raise Binance’s
compliance standards in line with a worldwide progression of
cryptocurrency regulations and developing frameworks.
“The selection of CipherTrace as our on-chain security solution will
augment our expansion drive and build greater trust among our users,
regulators and financial institutions,” said Samuel Lim, Chief
Compliance Officer of Binance. “This partnership will bolster our
existing world-class AML compliance program and help us expand into new
markets in the most compliant fashion.”
CipherTrace, also serving regulators, financial institutions and
auditors around the world, now hopes to empower Binance and its market
to further ensure trust and security in the broader industry.
“As one of the most trusted cryptocurrency exchanges on the globe,
Binance is leading the way in AML compliance programs for the industry,”
said Dave Jevans, CEO of CipherTrace. “With regulators in the world’s
most progressive jurisdictions that encourage innovation also using
CipherTrace to assess and monitor risks of licensed cryptocurrency
businesses, we are looking forward to helping the crypto economy grow by
raising the level of transparency and trust in the overall market. We
expect many others to follow Binance’s lead and are excited to help pave
