According to the Wall Street Journal, executives from Binance met with U.S. Treasury officials last month to request the removal or reduction of a federal monitorship that has overseen the exchange’s compliance with anti-money-laundering laws since it pled guilty in 2023 and paid a record $4.3 billion fine. Canada also fined Binance, but the penalty was much lower at $4.3 million. At the same time, Binance has been exploring a business deal with World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a DeFi…
