Regulators in Canada Fine Binance Millions for AML Violations

The world’s largest crypto exchange platform, Binance, has been hit with a hefty fine by Canadian regulators for failing to comply with anti-money laundering and terrorist financing laws. The Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) has fined Binance $4.38 million for not registering as a foreign money services business and failing to report receiving crypto assets worth C$10,000 or more on thousands of occasions.

This news comes after Binance decided to leave Canada last year due to issues with the country’s regulations on investor limits and stablecoins. The CEO of Binance, Changpeng Zhao, even pleaded guilty in a US court to violating anti-money laundering laws and was sentenced to four months in prison, with Binance facing a massive $4.3 billion penalty.

Despite these challenges, Binance has expressed interest in returning to Canada once proper regulations are established. This development highlights the ongoing struggle between crypto exchanges and regulators as the industry continues to evolve. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
