According to The Wall Street Journal, the U.S. Department of Justice is investigating how Iran is using the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, to evade U.S. sanctions.

The report cites company documents and sources familiar with the matter, stating that an internal investigation at Binance into over $1 billion in suspicious fund flows was halted. These funds were funneled through the platform to a network that finances Iran-backed terrorist organizations, including the Houthi movement in Yemen. The investigation focuses on the flow of the relevant funds on Binance and its compliance risks.
