Breaking: U.S. Prosecutors Probe Binance Over Possible Iran Sanctions Violations U.S. federal prosecutors are investigating whether Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, violated U.S. sanctions on Iran by knowingly allowing certain transactions to proceed, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The probe is being handled by the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s Office and is focused on Binance’s compliance controls and whether it was aware of the transactions. Binance previously pleaded guilty in 2023 to anti-money-laundering, unlicensed money-transmission and sanctions violations, agreeing to pay about $4.3 billion.
