Noah Perlman, Chief Compliance Officer of Binance, said that he is proud of the progress his teams have made in strengthening the company’s global compliance framework and building long-term processes required under regulatory oversight.
The topic is significant as Binance has faced increased scrutiny from regulators worldwide and has responded by investing heavily in compliance infrastructure and expanding its compliance team. According to Perlman, "As Chief Compliance Officer, my mandate at Binance has been clear from day one... strengthen our global compliance framework, support the resolution of outstanding U.S. matters, and help build the long-term processes required under the U.S. Monitorship... I’m proud of the progress our teams have made... We have secured ADGM’s full authorization, enhanced our governance structures, and built one of the largest and most capable compliance organizations in the digital-asset industry," according to a statement published by Binance.
According to its website, Binance says it has pursued "structural" compliance reforms over the past two years. These include expanded screening and transaction monitoring, investing "hundreds of millions of dollars" in compliance infrastructure, growing its compliance team, and strengthening governance independence and board oversight—positioning compliance as a core operating priority.
Binance reports that as of early 2026 it employs more than 1,500 people dedicated to compliance functions globally—about 25% of its total workforce—with 593 full-time employees in its Compliance business unit and another 978 employees or contractors in related roles. In 2025 alone, Binance's teams supported authorities in confiscating over $131 million linked to illicit activity, processed more than 71,000 law-enforcement requests worldwide, and delivered upwards of 160 training sessions for enforcement partners.
The company also notes that it now holds licenses or authorizations in 20 jurisdictions and is the first crypto exchange to secure full authorization under Abu Dhabi Global Market’s Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) framework—a milestone cited as central to its approach toward regulated market access according to its latest report.
Binance describes itself as a global blockchain ecosystem aiming to be an infrastructure provider for crypto markets. The company says it prioritizes user protection with security measures and strict data privacy controls across its ecosystem while committing to meet "the highest standards for regulatory compliance" according to information on its website.
