The organization issued a test covering “information and abilities common to all sanctions professionals in diverse employment situations,” according to the association's website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe blockchain industry is still in its early years, and it\u2019s our priority to continue upholding the highest level of compliance amid a fast-evolving space,\u201d said Binance\u2019s global head of sanctions, Chagri Poyraz. \u201cAt the end of the day, we want to continue setting the industry standard for security and compliance alongside other industry players.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

#Binance<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> joins the Association of Certified Sanctions Specialists (ACSS).

As the first crypto exchange to join the association, we aim to leverage ACSS training materials, databases, and networks to further compliance standards within the crypto industry.https:\/\/t.co\/uEOw147gke<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/p>— Binance (@binance) January 6, 2023<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/blockquote>

In response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Poyraz stated in October that the exchange complied with international sanctions against Russia, but noted that there was “room for improvement when it comes to clarity” in the European Union's crypto regulations<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, according to reports, Binance may have disregarded US sanctions by providing access to some services to users in Iran. This has drawn the attention of authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Binance, the ACSS training will inform the exchange's team of potential risks of violations as well as the rules from the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to its website, the exchange, one of the biggest in the cryptocurrency industry, is accessible in more than 100 countries and has a variety of licensing and regulatory requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Binance also become a member of the crypto lobbying group Chamber of Digital Commerce in December as part of its campaign to support American regulatory clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exchange, however, has apparently come under scrutiny from some international officials for alleged transgressions of sanctions and anti-money laundering legislation<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
