Binance To Pay $4 Billion Fine

The sources also mentioned that the Binance company would likely have to pay a large sum of money as a penalty to the US authorities. Although no specific amount was mentioned, some media outlets say that it will be close to $4 billion.

No matter how someone looks at it, $4 billion is a big number & will likely affect the financial situation of Binance. However, it will also set a precedent that all the crypto firms operating in the USA will have to follow the rules or face legal penalties.

According to some experts, this settlement will also pave the way for several more crypto firms to settle their disputes with the US authorities.

The scrutiny against Binance was started in 2018 by the Justice Department, which was later widened & several other US institutions got involved. However, it wouldn't be wrong to say that it was a major legal headache for Binance & there was no other way around it.

In 2020, Binance was asked by the US authorities to share details about their internal records. They wanted to check the company's efforts for anti-money laundering to gauge whether they were effective or not.
