Binance Tightens Disclosure Rules for Market Makers and Token Issuers

Binance has tightened its oversight of market makers to reduce conflicts of interest and the risk of price manipulation in crypto markets. The new guidelines require token issuers to provide greater transparency about their partnerships, aiming to prevent market makers from exploiting information gaps, wash trading or improper token allocations to influence prices and investor decisions.

As of July 19, 2026, Binance required token issuers to disclose their market-making partners, contract terms and identity information, while prohibiting profit-sharing and guaranteed-return arrangements. The platform will also monitor six categories of high-risk conduct, including violations of token-release schedules and inflated trading volumes. Reports did not disclose any fines or a formal effective date.
