Binanceās Record-Breaking Recovery Efforts
According to reports by TheCoinRise, Binance Exchange has used blockchain to track and recover stolen funds. Some days ago, its security experts recovered over $73 million stolen funds by external parties between January 1 and July 31, 2024. This accomplishment far exceeds the $55 million recovered by the exchange in 2023.
The exchange emphasized that the feat became possible due to collaboration with industry peers to support Web 3.0 users. It maintained that these recoveries were on misplaced or lost digital assets and illegal funds that found their way to the Binance platform.
Meanwhile, an analysis of the funds that Binance clawed back showed that 80% were assets lost due to hacking, theft, or other external exploits. The other 20% is related to scams perpetrated outside the Binance exchange.

Binance Exposed $6.2M Crypto Scam
A few months ago, Binanceās Financial Crimes Compliance (FCC) Department teamed up with Taiwanās Ministry of Justice Investigation Bureau and the Taipei District Prosecutors Office to address a money laundering case.

As a result, the culprits were indicted and faced charges for multiple financial offenses, including money laundering, fraud, and organized crimes. These agencies successfully resolved a digital asset fraud case worth 200 million New Taiwan dollars ($6.2 million). Meanwhile, this development comes a day after the exchangeās security team developed a strong antidote to protect investors from the risk of address poisoning scams.
