Binance.US, the United States-based arm of the global cryptocurrency exchange Binance, is gearing up for legal battles with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
<a href="https://x.com/BinanceUS/status/1807905912231022593" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">According</a> to the X post announcement, Binance.US has expressed a readiness for an extended period of legal discovery.
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “On Friday, the Court decided that the SEC’s case against Binance.US will continue. We were prepared for this and look forward to having this case move forward in the judicial process.”

The SEC’s allegations revolve around securities law violations, offering unregistered investment products and anti-fraud breaches.
Binance.US said it was created for the “express purpose of serving” U.S. customers and would adhere to U.S. rules and regulations.
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “We maintain 1:1 reserves for all customer assets and have robust compliance and risk programs which ensure the safety, security, and integrity of our platform.”

The centralized cryptocurrency exchange criticized the SEC’s regulatory approach, describing the federal agency as “regulation by enforcement.”
Binance.US also attributed the firm’s challenges to politically motivated actions by the current administration, led by Chair Gary Gensler.
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “It is unfortunate that we, like many companies in our industry, have fallen victim to the SEC’s regulation by enforcement approach and politically motivated overreach under its current leadership.”

Binance.US expressed confidence in its legal standing, stating that the SEC has “yet to identify any evidence of wrongdoing on the part of Binance.US.”
Through an 11-month discovery process, Binance.US said that the SEC’s case “is unsupported by the facts or the law.”
Despite the firm’s confidence, it failed to convince a U.S. court to dismiss most of the SEC’s claims against it in a June 28 court filing.
In the filing, the SEC’s allegation that Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/most-claims-in-binance-sec-case-to-proceed-says-court">acted as a “control person</a>” remained unaffected by Binance’s attempt to have it dismissed.
