Binance said it is using crypto intelligence firm CipherTrace's "Traveler" product to help it comply with global "travel rule" regulations.
- Traveler will help Binance detect bad actors on the exchange's platform, an announcement Thursday said.

- 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.

- 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.
