Binance has faced accusations regarding its role in maintaining a fair trading environment.
-
Market Manipulation Allegations: The U.S. SEC’s 2023 charges included allegations of wash trading and front-running by entities owned by former Binance CEO, which created artificial trading volume and misleading market signals.
-
Banning Market Makers: The exchange has taken recent public action (e.g., in early 2025) to permanently ban market makers for serious violations like manipulating trading prices and failing to maintain liquidity, especially around new token launches. This shows a commitment to corrective action but also confirms that such misconduct has been taking place.
