Binance Policy Change Hampers Law Enforcement Access to User Data

A new report by The New York Times reveals that Binance has quietly altered its compliance rules, making it harder for authorities to investigate crypto-related crimes. The change means international law enforcement agencies can no longer obtain user data through direct requests and must instead rely on slow and bureaucratic government treaty processes. The shift is seen as a significant obstacle for investigators tracking illicit activity on the platform. The report raises fresh concerns about transparency and cooperation from one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges.
