Illicit crypto transactions drop to historic lows across major exchanges. Binance leads with only 0.007–0.016% of volume linked to illicit activity. Industry compliance and monitoring improvements drive safer crypto trading. The crypto sector is entering a new phase of maturity, with illicit transaction volumes on centralized exchanges falling to historic lows. This is according to a new analysis published by Binance, which uses independent data from Chainalysis and TRM Labs.

The figure represents a dramatic improvement from 2023 levels. It follows closer collaboration among exchanges, analytics firms, and law enforcement agencies. The report highlights Binance as the strongest performer. Chainalysis data shows that only 0.007% of Binance’s 2025 transaction volume was tied to illicit sources, less than half the average of the next six largest exchanges. TRM Labs’ data aligns with that trend, placing Binance at 0.016%, compared to the 0.023% average for competitors. Notably, Binance processes daily volumes comparable to the combined activity of the six next-largest platforms. The report stressed that keeping illicit exposure this low at such a magnitude highlights advanced monitoring capabilities and disciplined compliance practices.
