Overview
- Bloomberg-reported talks with U.S. prosecutors center on removing the independent compliance monitor required under Binance’s settlement, with no official agreement announced.
- The monitor requirement stems from an approximately $4.3 billion resolution tied to alleged anti–money-laundering failures at the exchange.
- BNB set a fresh all-time high near $956–$957, with 24-hour gains around 4% and trading volumes jumping roughly 79%, outperforming Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana.
- Analysts note that a confirmed deal could lift a major regulatory overhang for Binance and may signal a broader shift in how the DOJ uses external monitors.
- Traders are watching the psychological $1,000 level for BNB and the upcoming FOMC decision as potential drivers of the next price move.
