The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) launched legal action against two major exchanges, Binance and BinanceUS, last week, leading to a reclassification of numerous <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">altcoins</a> as securities. Gary Gensler, the Chairman of the SEC, indicated in his remarks today that the Howey Test has largely yielded positive results for many altcoins. He further hinted at the flexible application of the four-point test on tokens, signifying his intent to intensify scrutiny on altcoins.

Binance’s lawyers made the initial formal objections and partial defenses on Monday (according to the US time zone) against the lawsuit. Ahead of Tuesday&#8217;s hearing concerning the sought-after restraining order, which would effectively freeze BinanceUS’s assets, a new filing from Binance argued for the rejection of SEC&#8217;s action. 
Binance, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, BAM Trading, and BAM Management responded on Monday to the SEC&#8217;s original complaint and subsequent ban order. They argued, “The SEC&#8217;s request for a temporary ban should be rejected for several reasons, but most importantly: there is no risk to BAM&#8217;s customer assets. Indeed, apart from what the SEC has produced for its own purposes, there is no &#8217;emergency&#8217; here while the alleged securities law violations have been publicly and openly ongoing for years.”

In addition to the SEC&#8217;s demands about Binance, the issue of declaring 10 altcoins as securities was also brought to the agenda. Binance argued that the SEC needs to prove that the digital assets listed in its lawsuit are indeed securities.
