The Binance crypto exchange fired at least five employees from its compliance investigations department after they prepared internal reports on transactions that could be related to circumventing sanctions against Iran, Fortune reported, citing sources and internal company documents. According to Fortune, the reports involved transactions worth more than $1 billion in Tether (USDT) that passed through Binance between March 2024 and August 2025 and were conducted on the Tron network.

Binance told Fortune that investigators were not dismissed for reporting possible sanctions violations, and an internal analysis involving lawyers found no evidence of violations of applicable sanctions requirements in connection with the specified activities.

In November 2023, Binance pleaded guilty in the US to a series of violations related to AML/KYC and sanctions compliance and agreed to pay $4.3 billion, according to Reuters.

Binance was founded in 2017 and is one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges.
