Binance faces renewed US scrutiny over Iran-linked funds
12.10.2026 · Cryptonews
The US Department of Justice confirmed its probe into Binance is still active. Manhattan prosecutors have already seized $61 million in crypto they say moved through the exchange after sales of Iranian oil.
No charges have been filed against the company yet, but any breach of the 2023 settlement could reopen criminal cases and trigger multi-billion-dollar penalties.
Binance says it is cooperating and employs over 1,500 compliance staff. Eleven US senators had earlier urged authorities to examine whether the platform violated sanctions linked to Iran.
