Binance Law Enforcement Cooperation Delays Surge Due to New Routing Policy

Binance’s new policy routes most law enforcement requests through UAE channels, significantly extending response times and hindering European investigations into financial crime.

Woofun AI reports that Binance modified its law enforcement cooperation protocol in April, mandating that agencies forward non-urgent requests through international treaty procedures. Representatives from five European nations stated that this shift directs the majority of inquiries to the UAE, where Binance is registered, thereby complicating investigative efforts. While Binance asserts the change ensures adherence to data privacy laws, the departure of senior compliance staff has intensified external scrutiny.
