Binance quietly changed its rules, making it harder for police to get user data
A report from The New York Times says Binance made a compliance policy change that now requires international law enforcement agencies to go through slow government-to-government treaty processes to obtain user data, rather than through faster direct requests. The change is said to complicate criminal investigations involving crypto.
If law enforcement cooperation with the world's largest crypto exchange becomes slower and harder, it affects how effectively regulators and police can pursue crypto-related crime, which has implications for regulatory trust in the industry.
