"Compliance always needs to be improving.” - Noah 

In this episode Ian Andrews (CMO, Chainalysis) speaks to Noah Perlman (Chief Compliance Officer, Binance), whose exchange was very focused on trading and users in the early days and now turning the  page to building out a robust Compliance program.

He discusses the challenges and opportunities of working in compliance in the crypto industry, the importance of trust and transparency and the steps Binance is taking to improve its compliance program.
