[U.S. Department of Justice Investigates Iran Using Binance to Evade Sanctions] According to The Wall Street Journal, the U.S. Department of Justice is investigating how Iran has used Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, to evade U.S. sanctions. The report, citing company documents and sources familiar with the matter, states that a previous internal investigation at Binance into over $1 billion in suspicious fund flows was halted. These funds were transferred through the platform to a network that provides financial support to Iran-backed terrorist organizations, including Yemen's Houthi militia. The investigation focuses on the flow of these funds within Binance and the associated compliance risks.
