美国联邦检察官调查币安是否未能阻止违反对伊朗制裁的交易
美国联邦检察官正在调查加密货币交易所币安(Binance)是否未能阻止违反对伊朗制裁的交易,此举将对该交易所合规控制的审查范围进一步扩大。这一调查发生在币安与司法部达成43亿美元刑事和解协议近三年之后。
据悉,该案件由曼哈顿美国联邦检察官办公室负责处理,华盛顿的司法部刑事部门也参与其中。据彭博社援引知情人士报道,当局正在审查币安是否明知故犯,允许此类活动发生。
最新披露的信息为今年3月出现的司法部调查提供了更多细节。当时,外界仍不清楚调查对象是币安平台本身、个别客户,还是两者兼有。
检察官审视币安的合规控制措施
币安表示,其对违反制裁的行为持零容忍态度,并全力配合执法部门工作。该交易所强调,其致力于识别并从平台上清除不良行为者。
此次调查紧随数月来围绕与伊朗相关活动的争议之后。今年早些时候,币安正式驳斥了其制裁控制措施不足的指控,称禁止居住在或位于伊朗的用户使用平台,并且必须进行身份验证。
Binance's response focused in part on two entities, Hexa Whale and Blessed Trust, which have been linked to transactions that may involve Iran. Binance said that following an investigation by law enforcement, both entities were investigated and removed from the exchange, with Hexa Whale being removed in August 2025 and Blessed Trust being removed in January 2026.
In addition, Binance stated that as sanctions screening, geolocation control and transaction monitoring measures expand, its engagement with major Iranian crypto platforms dropped by 97.3% from early 2024 to mid-2025.
The 2023 plea agreement remains at the core of the review
In November 2023, Binance pleaded guilty to violations of the Bank Secrecy Act and the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. The company agreed to pay $4.3 billion in fines and accept supervision by independent compliance monitors, while strengthening its anti-money laundering and sanctions systems.
The Justice Department pointed out that Binance had previously failed to prevent U.S. users from trading with customers in sanctioned jurisdictions, including Iran. Between January 2018 and May 2022, more than $898 million in transactions occurred between U.S. users and users who usually live in Iran.
The new review intensified this month as Manhattan prosecutors sought $61.2 million USDT that no receipts said originated from sanctioned Iranian oil sales. The civil complaint filed on September 14 described Binance accounts used by entities accused of converting and transferring funds through a broader network linked to Iranian oil transactions.
Currently, the investigation has not announced any charges against Binance. Prosecutors are reviewing whether Binance's post-settlement controls prevented prohibited Iran-related activities as required by its strengthened compliance framework.
