Binance provided client data to Russian authorities in 2025 that was used to charge a Russian IT specialist with terrorism financing related to donations for Ukraine, despite having exited the Russian market in 2023 amid sanctions and regulatory scrutiny.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 2 sources have reported it.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You can no longer rely on crypto firms avoiding jurisdictional compliance after market exits as Binance’s data sharing shows legal exposure even after withdrawal. Prepare for stricter privacy demands if your fintech startup handles cross-border crypto user data.
