Ongoing Education and Awareness Initiatives
In 2023 alone, Binance organized and participated in 120 law enforcement training sessions globally. These sessions are designed to build capacity and provide law enforcement personnel with the necessary tools and knowledge to effectively combat financial crimes.
Earlier this year, Binance also participated in the Hong Kong International Cyber Policing Symposium and the Crypto Asset Investigation Course (VAIC) organized by the Cyber Security and Technology Crime Bureau (CSTCB).
Binance’s participation in these events is highly valuable as it ensures firsthand information for participants. Additionally, the exchange of ideas helps Binance determine future measures to take. This mutual benefit is extremely valuable for the cryptocurrency sector.
