<h2 id="header-0">The relationships between hedge funds and the cryptocurrency exchange Binance are being investigated by US authorities for potential money laundering offences.</h2><p>Federal authorities are currently investigating into <a href="https://www.coingabbar.com/en/crypto-currency/binancecoin-bnb-prices-usd" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Binance&#39;s </a>connections with American hedge funds as part of a lengthy investigation into possible money-laundering laws violations at one of the top crypto firms in the world. According to the most current sources, the Western District of Washington U.S. Attorney&#39;s Office has issued subpoenas for investment businesses to produce information on their dealings with the leading cryptocurrency exchange Binance.</p><h3 id="binance-facing-new-problems">Binance Facing New Problems?</h3><p>The issuance of the subpoenas coincides with increased media and regulatory authority scrutiny of Binance, the world&#39;s largest crypto company, regarding its operations and finances. By the end of the previous year, this criticism had reached a fever pitch with the multi-billion dollar collapse of <a href="https://www.coingabbar.com/en/crypto-currency/ftx-token-ftt-prices-usd" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">FTX</a>, which had shaken investors&#39; confidence in an ever-volatile and unsteady crypto market.</p><p>However, according to legal experts, the U.S. authorities are still reviewing the available evidence and currently in negotiations for a potential settlement with Binance, this suggests that the allegedly issued subpoenas are not intended to be used to bring legal action against the questioned cryptocurrency exchange or the hedge funds.</p><p>Binance&#39;s Chief Strategy Officer Patrick Hillmann said in an interview that the exchange had ongoing communication with almost &#34;every regulator across the globe,&#34; but he did not clarify on the status of any investigations that may be taking place in the US.</p><h4>Growing Legal Issues with Binance</h4><p>Legal experts claim that Binance has amassed quite a (in)famous reputation over the years by successfully skirting laws and taking use of legal loopholes to maintain its operations in a number of nations. Legislators were concerned about the platform&#39;s involvement in money laundering because the company had never demanded that users present any form of identity, such as a formal KYC, in the past. Last year, the prominent media site said that the crypto behemoth has ties to the Russian dark web marketplace Hydra, which it described as a &#34;hub for hackers, fraudsters, and drug traffickers.&#34;</p><p>Binance, on the other hand, aggressively refuted the charges and publicly protested the article by issuing a formal statement and a blog from the business&#39;s official Twitter account.</p><p>Recently, Binance has made measures to strengthen its commitment to compliance. The exchange made desperate attempts to increase the size of its security and compliance department&#39;s employees by a factor of 500% in 2022.</p>
