【Binance Australia Responds to AUSTRAC's Audit of Binance's Anti-Money Laundering Strategies】 According to Golden Finance, Binance Australia stated that it fully understands and respects the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre's (AUSTRAC) decision to appoint an external auditor to independently review the company's anti-money laundering programs. This is one of its regulatory review measures and not a law enforcement action. Over the past few months, we have maintained open and transparent communication with AUSTRAC and highly value its professional guidance and supervision. Binance will always be committed to maintaining industry-leading compliance standards and continuously strengthening its capabilities. Binance understands that responsible growth means always putting user safety first. To this end, we have invested in over 1,200 compliance staff, accounting for nearly 22% of our global workforce, and expect compliance expenditures to grow by 33% this year. We will also further build and expand local compliance and operational capabilities to ensure a robust governance system. As the cryptocurrency industry continues to evolve, we will continue to collaborate with regulators to uphold the highest industry standards.
