Binance issued a detailed reply to U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal's February 24, 2026 letter, disputing media-based allegations about its sanctions and compliance practices and describing them as false and defamatory. The exchange emphasized a global compliance framework staffed by over 1,500 specialists using more than 25 monitoring tools, handling 71,000+ law enforcement requests in 2025 and helping seize over $752 million in illicit funds. It also reported a sharp reduction in exposure to wallets tied to illegal activity between early 2024 and mid-2025, while explaining actions against accounts linked to Hexa Whale and Blessed Trust.
