There has been a new development regarding the lawsuit filed by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against the cryptocurrency exchange Binance, its US subsidiary Binance.US, and its owner, Changpeng “CZ” Zhao. A federal judge has rejected a request by Binance’s lawyers to condemn the regulator for language used in a press release. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson for the District of Columbia drew attention in her decision on Monday. It marked an early setback for the embattled global crypto giant. Here are the details…
Binance’s request was denied
The dispute stemmed from the language the SEC used to describe allegations that client assets were mixed or diverted from trading platforms to investment instruments under Zhao’s control. Binance’s legal team disputed the statements used by the SEC. He also asked the court to intervene in this matter. Judge Berman Jackson said all attorneys involved in the case must abide by their ethical obligations. He stressed, however, that it is not currently necessary for the court to interfere with the statements of the parties’ press releases. So he denied the request. “It is also not clear that the agency’s public relations efforts to date will significantly affect the proceedings in this case,” he said in his ruling.
Last week, Binance’s lawyers requested the court to denounce the SEC outside of the courtroom for its statements regarding the alleged misappropriation of billions of dollars in client assets. This request was based on concern that the press release might bias the jury. The language in question was contained in an announcement regarding the contingency agreement reached between the SEC and Binance.US, which aims to protect customer assets while allowing the company to continue its business operations.
The outcome of the case is critical
This decision comes amid the ongoing legal battle between Binance and the SEC, which alleges that the cryptocurrency exchange violated securities laws by conducting unregistered securities offerings. cryptocoin.com As we reported, the SEC also accused Binance of not disclosing necessary information to investors. Binance, one of the largest and most prominent cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, has faced increasing scrutiny from regulators in various jurisdictions.

Meanwhile, Binance continues to face regulatory challenges as it withdraws from several European countries. Recently, Binance withdrew its license application in Austria.
