 Crypto exchange Binance and its co-founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) have requested the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="dismissal" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/dismissal.html">dismissal</a> of the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="lawsuit" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/lawsuit.html">lawsuit</a> filed by the United States Commodities and Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) on Thursday, July 27. The legal representatives of Binance and Zhao submitted the motion for the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="lawsuit" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/lawsuit.html">lawsuit</a>'s <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="dismissal" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/dismissal.html">dismissal</a> in the Chicago court. 
 In their recent court filing, the attorneys have accused the CFTC of exceeding its regulatory authority and engaging in regulatory overreach. They pointed out that the CFTC is attempting to regulate foreign individuals and corporations operating outside the United States, which goes beyond the limits of its statutory jurisdiction and interferes with well-established principles of comity with foreign sovereigns.

 As per the filing, the first six charges presented by the CFTC do not pertain to the foreign conduct addressed in the case, and certain charges do not meet the required legal standards. Additionally, the seventh charge, accusing Binance of evading the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) should be <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="dismiss" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/dismiss.html">dismiss</a>ed as the agency itself fails to satisfy the necessary requirements for such an accusation, as asserted in the filing. 
 The motion to <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="dismiss" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/dismiss.html">dismiss</a> argues that the CFTC lacks regulatory authority over spot trading, both domestically and internationally. It questions whether Binance․com should be subject to specific registration and regulatory compliance provisions of the CEA and CFTC regulations based on its introduction of additional products after 2019 and its prior restriction of potential U.S. users.

 In March, the CFTC initiated a lawsuit against Binance, alleging that the company offered unregistered derivatives products in the U.S., including cryptocurrency trading services, futures, and options products. The regulator also accused Binance of inadequate supervision, lacking a reliable know-your-customer or anti-money laundering program, and failing to register as a futures commissions merchant, designated contract market, or swap execution facility. 
 In addition to the CFTC <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="lawsuit" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/lawsuit.html">lawsuit</a>, Binance is also confronting legal challenges in the U.S. stemming from a <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="lawsuit" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/lawsuit.html">lawsuit</a> filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in June.
