BNB Hits $956 Amid Binance’s Potential Deal With US DOJ
Binance Coin ([BNB](https://holder.io/coins/bnb/)), the native token of Binance, surged to a new all-time high due to speculation about a potential agreement between Binance and the US Department of Justice (DOJ).
- Binance is negotiating with federal prosecutors to remove an oversight condition requiring an external compliance monitor.
- This follows ongoing discussions regarding compliance tied to Binance's $4.3 billion settlement over money laundering prevention measures.
- A successful negotiation could change the DOJ's approach to independent oversight, as the agency has already reduced some monitors appointed during the Biden administration.
- The SEC has dropped enforcement cases against several crypto platforms, including Binance, after previous industry crackdowns.
The potential DOJ deal has increased demand for [BNB](https://holder.io/coins/bnb/), leading to a price rally exceeding 12% monthly growth.
- In contrast, broader digital asset prices, such as [Bitcoin (BTC)](https://holder.io/coins/btc/), have remained stable under recent highs.
- Post-news, BNB reached $956, currently trading at $954, showing strong momentum.
