Binance: Fighting crypto crimes with partnership 

Binance, the world’s leading crypto exchange collaborates with law enforcement agencies globally and offers a pioneering virtual law enforcement training program for officers in Taiwan to help detect financial and cybercrime.

After the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) and the Money Laundering Control Act became the first regulator for crypto in Taiwan, Binance applied for registration with the agency in 2023. The exchange’s collaborative efforts in lending support to investigations into digital asset fraud and assisting the United States in compensating fraud victims have been recognized by local regulatory bodies. 

Binance’s strong commitment to combat fraud and illicit activities in the Web 3 World led to the partnership with security experts to develop a strong antidote to safeguard the crypto infrastructure from poisoning scams. 

Binance: thriving against all odds

The largest crypto exchange has faced one too many challenges, including regulatory pressures, complaints of scams on its platform, the arrest of one of its executives, and allegations of fraud against the exchange itself. 

Despite these challenges, Binance and its ventures have managed to overcome significant obstacles and continue to make impressive strides in the crypto industry. In a recent post, Binance Labs, the venture capital of Binance, takes the lead as the firm with the largest number of Launchpool projects among top investment firms. 

Also, Taiwan has featured in the growing crypto world. In 2022, it put a ban on purchasing digital assets with credit and debit cards. Now, it has plans to introduce cryptocurrency regulations by the end of 2024 to tackle illegal activities.

The Ministry of Justice has proposed amendments to strengthen Anti-Money Laundering (AML) laws and impose fines and jail terms for non-compliant firms.
