Traveler will help Binance detect bad actors on the exchange's platform, an announcement Thursday said.
CipherTrace released the tool in March to help tackle hacks and fraud by scanning addresses associated with incoming crypto transactions.
The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network and Financial Action Task Force's "travel rule" regulations require virtual asset service providers to exchange identifying information when conducting transactions.
Binance's relationship with CipherTrace is well established; in May, it tapped the company's transaction tracking software to detect hacks and exploits of decentralized finance (DeFi) applications on Binance Smart Chain.
The latest announcement comes as Binance faces a cluster of regulatory challenges from financial watchdogs in different markets, including Japan, the U.K. and Canada.

Solana CME Futures Fell Short of BTC and ETH Debuts, but There's a Catch

Mar 18, 2025

When adjusted for asset market capitalization SOL's relative futures volume looks better, K33 Research noted.

Ano ang dapat malaman:

Solana's SOL futures began trading on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) on Monday, with a notional daily volume of $12.3 million and $7.8 million in open interest, significantly lower than the debuts of bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH) futures.
Despite the seemingly lackluster debut, when adjusted to market value, SOL's first-day figures are more in line with BTC's and ETH's, according to K33 Research.
Despite the bearish market conditions, the launch of CME SOL futures offers new ways for institutions to manage their exposure to the token, said Joshua Lim of FalconX.
