SEC Intensifies Investigation of Binance Operations and Key Personnel

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has expanded its investigation into Binance’s compliance with its consent decree, examining its asset controls and employee compensation.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has taken significant steps to strengthen oversight of cryptocurrency exchanges and compliance with federal law. Recent developments have led the SEC to deepen its investigation into Binance Holdings Limited and key figures associated with the company, including its former CEO Changpeng Zhao.

The SEC’s investigation hinges on a consent order issued to Binance. The order required cryptocurrency exchanges to prove that they solely own and control their U.S.-based assets, including those held by customers. Regulators have raised concerns about Binance’s compliance with this order, especially in light of recent findings regarding asset controls and employee compensation by Binance-affiliated entities.

Documentary evidence has emerged indicating that Binance Holdings Limited (BHL) may still retain some level of access and control over private keys associated with its customers and corporate assets. This contradicts Binance’s claim that it has exclusive control over these assets as per the SEC’s orders. The SEC requested BHL produce documents describing the technical operation and access controls of its wallet software.

Additionally, the SEC’s investigation found that numerous U.S.-based Binance employees were receiving significant compensation directly or indirectly from Binance affiliates. This raises questions about the independence of these employees from Binance Holdings and their potential impact on Binance’s operations at its U.S. entities.

The SEC also ruled that Binance and BAM Trading Services Inc. Requested records of communications between These records are important for understanding the nature of interactions and oversight between businesses, particularly with regard to the management and security of customer assets.

Binance Holdings and Zhao reportedly agreed to cooperate with the SEC’s investigation to retrieve and produce relevant documents. BHL has also tentatively agreed to provide technical fact witnesses who can testify on key topics in the SEC’s request. Meanwhile, Zhao’s position that testimony was unnecessary because his role was stepping down was consistent with the SEC’s claims about his unique knowledge of operational and financial relationships within the Binance company.

As the situation unfolds, the SEC’s heightened efforts to ensure Binance complies with the consent decree reflects a broader regulatory trend toward bringing transparency and accountability to the cryptocurrency industry. The findings could set a precedent for how cryptocurrency exchanges operate in the U.S. and manage the delicate balance between innovation and regulatory compliance.
