Binance’s law enforcement team has conducted such workshops worldwide. This includes the following countries: France, Germany, Italy, the UK, Norway, Canada, Brazil, Paraguay, and Israel.
The team contributes to global events organized by Interpol, Europol, and Eurojust. According to Binance, workshops similar to Binance Georgia will be held in several other regions and countries over the coming months.
This is Mr. Olga Goncharova’s gratitude statement. He is the Director of Government Relations at Binance,
“We would like to thank Mr. Archil Mestvirishvili, Member of the Board and Vice-Governor of the National Bank of Georgia, for an open dialogue and willingness to contribute to the development of cryptocurrency regulation in Georgia.”
Binance is open to dialogue with regulators around the world. We hope that our experience shared at the conference will be helpful to the Georgian national regulators, and we will continue to develop new and progressive regulated cryptocurrencies in the country. We will see the currency market soon.
Obligation To Practical Compliance
World-class practitioners lead training programs from the Binance Investigations team. The Binance Investigations team employs security experts and former law enforcement officers, including analysts and agents who have helped take down some of the world’s largest criminal platforms, such as Silkroad and Hydra.
A standard one-day training program includes face-to-face workshops on primary blockchain and cryptocurrency concepts. It involves insight into the evolving legal and regulatory environment in which they operate.
It details Binance’s anti-money laundering (AML) policy and the investigative methods the company has developed to detect and prevent criminal activity.
Due to a robust compliance and AML program, Binance recently received approval and registration in countries such as France, Italy, and Spain, making it one of the few crypto companies in the G7 countries to achieve this.
The Binance Investigations team has responded to over 27,000 law enforcement inquiries in an average of 3 days since November 2021.
This is faster than any traditional financial institution. Binance is known to law enforcement agencies for its rapid response system unmatched by conventional financial institutions.
