At Extreme Investor Network, we provide you with the latest insights and updates on the cryptocurrency industry. Today, we bring you a critical development involving Binance, one of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, facing legal action from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The SEC has accused Binance of violating federal securities laws by offering unregistered securities and conducting improper business operations in the United States. The allegations against Binance include issues regarding their staking program, the sale of BNB tokens post-initial coin offering, and breaches of anti-fraud regulations.
In the legal proceedings, the court has allowed some claims to proceed while rejecting others. Allegations related to Binance’s staking program and the sale of BNB tokens have been permitted to move forward for further investigation. Additionally, claims concerning anti-fraud breaches by Binance and the allegation that former CEO Changpeng Zhao acted as a “control person” have been allowed to proceed.
However, claims regarding BNB secondary market sales and Binance USD (BUSD) sales have been rejected by the court. Despite the dismissal of some claims, the court’s decision to allow several allegations to continue indicates a serious challenge for Binance in terms of regulatory compliance.
A hearing scheduled for July 9th will delve deeper into the accusations against Binance and gather additional evidence. Stay tuned to Extreme Investor Network for further updates on this evolving situation in the cryptocurrency space.
