Crypto exchange Binance is reportedly in talks with US regulators to settle charges and related investigations. According to sources familiar with the matter, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) could collect an amount exceeding $4 billion through a settlement. Currently facing a lawsuit from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the exchange has been in discussions with the DOJ for years.

The proposed deal between the DOJ and Binance would allow the exchange to continue its operations while granting the government access to the exchange’s extensive database to prevent a potential collapse and its consequences. According to those familiar with the matter, DOJ officials and other investigators are interested in using the exchange to better monitor criminal financial activities.

The alleged lead actor in the deal is the DOJ’s anti-money laundering and asset recovery team. Binance has been under investigation by the DOJ for years and was criticized by legislative bodies in October for pressuring officials to decide on potential charges.

Binance Faces DOJ Investigation

Additionally, Binance is facing a DOJ investigation over alleged sanctions violations. The company is accused of aiding in the evasion of Russian and Iranian sanctions. Despite being accused of assisting the Hamas, the exchange worked with Israeli authorities in freezing crypto accounts linked to Hamas in October.

The crypto exchange is also facing a lawsuit from the SEC, which alleges that it offered unregistered securities and commingled customer funds. Representatives from Binance and the DOJ did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The news boosted the value of Binance’s token (BNB), increasing the digital asset’s value by nearly 14% according to data available at the time of writing.
