What does the company say? Binance stated that complying with disclosure obligations to the authorities in each jurisdiction is an important part of becoming a regulated business, and the exchange is in compliance with its legal obligations.
“On the specific matter of not sharing data — today, any government or law enforcement agency in the world can request user data from Binance as long as it is accompanied by the proper legal authority. Russia is no different.”

According to the sources, he struck a deal with government agencies and negotiated the creation of a unit in Russia through which authorities can request access to data such as names and addresses, to help fight crime.
