Binance announced it prevented $6.69 billion in potential fraud in 2025, according to its end-of-year report detailing enforcement actions, regulatory compliance efforts and crime-prevention activity on the platform.
According to Binance, its 2025 trust-building efforts focused on pairing stricter regulatory compliance with layered safeguards designed to limit illicit activity while supporting legitimate use. The report said that Binance became the first global cryptocurrency exchange fully licensed under the Abu Dhabi Global Market’s Financial Services Regulatory Authority framework following a supervisory review covering governance, risk management, custody, clearing, and consumer protection.
In its end-of-year report, Binance reported a 96% decline in direct exposure to major illicit activity categories since 2023. This was achieved alongside expanded cooperation with law enforcement. In 2025, the company processed more than 71,000 formal law enforcement requests and helped authorities confiscate about $131 million linked to illicit activity. Additionally, it delivered over 160 training sessions to support investigations involving digital assets.
The company said its risk controls prevented $6.69 billion in potential fraud and scam losses for 5.4 million users in 2025. Dedicated teams assisted more than 50,000 victims in recovering $11.7 million in lost funds. The report described these preventive efforts as a core trust measure aimed at stopping abuse before it escalates into larger incidents.
Binance emphasized that compliance is a central part of its operations, with approximately 1,280 specialists making up nearly 22% of its global workforce. The report also cited internal security and resilience measures, including 15 Red Team phishing simulations that reduced internal phishing failure rates from 3.2% in 2024 to 0.4% in 2025. Changes to enhanced due diligence processes cut required steps from 14 to four.
Founded in 2017, Binance has grown into the world’s largest digital asset exchange by user base and trading activity. It operates an ecosystem that includes spot and derivatives markets, payment tools, custodial services, and Web3 infrastructure. The platform emphasizes security, education, and regulatory cooperation as core pillars supporting its global community and long-term mission.
