US government investigating Binance
The United States government has been following the activities of cryptocurrency exchanges in recent months. This time, they have turned their attention to Binance, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world by market cap.Bloomberg reported earlier today that the United States DOJ and the IRS are looking into the company's cryptocurrency exchange's activities. This is in an effort to eliminate illicit activities in the crypto market, the report added.
Officials in charge of investigating money laundering and tax offenses are seeking information about Binance’s businesses. The US officials are concerned that cryptocurrencies are at the forefront of illegal transactions like thefts and drug deals. Furthermore, the tax agency is concerned that Americans who made profits from the crypto market are evading taxes.
Although the DOJ and IRS probes are looking at potential criminal violations, the sources didn’t divulge the specifics of what the agencies are looking for. Amongst the officials heading the investigations are prosecutors within the DOJ’s bank integrity unit. Similarly, the IRS has been following Binance’s financial activities over the past few months. A source added that the tax agency is reviewing Binance’s conduct as well of that of its customers.
Binance isn’t accused of any wrongdoing
Despite the probe, government officials have yet to accuse Binance of any wrongdoings. To that end, Binance spokeswoman Jessica Jung said, “We take our legal obligations very seriously and engage with regulators and law enforcement in a collaborative fashion. We have worked hard to build a robust compliance program that incorporates anti-money laundering principles and tools used by financial institutions to detect and address suspicious activity.”Binance is the leading crypto exchange in terms of daily trading volume, according to Coinmarketcap. Bloomberg noted that the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is also investigating the exchange to see whether it allows Americans to buy derivatives linked to cryptocurrencies. However, the exchange’s CEO Changpeng Zhao has always maintained that Binance closely obeys US rules.
He aadded that the platform blocks Americans from its platforms. In addition, it utilizes advanced technology to properly analyze transactions for signs of money laundering and other illegal activities.
At the time of this report, spokespeople for the DOJ and IRS declined to comment on the matter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
