BNB Hits Record as Binance Reportedly Seeks DOJ Exit From Compliance Monitor

Investors await confirmation of a Justice Department agreement that could end Binance’s external monitor.

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.
