The CZ of Binance denied insider trading. “Binance has a stringent policy, and none of the wallets evaluated by Argus belong to our staff,” he explained. Coinbase and FTX also have compliance standards, he responded.

Binance is also attempting to increase compliance by disclosing reserve assets and registering licences in multiple jurisdictions.
