In response to the SEC’s actions, Binance.US slammed what it perceives as the opposite of a regulatory approach—instead, “enforcement-first, guidance-second”—and further termed being caught in what it called politically motivated overreach under the current leadership of the SEC.
Although the Binance US SEC lawsuit acknowledged that it had fully cooperated and produced a great deal throughout the 11-month-long discovery process, the SEC has not provided any evidence to support any wrongdoing. This case will now proceed with further phases of discovery.
Fully confident in the merits of its legal position, Binance.US argued that the SEC’s claims are without factual or legal basis and lack any authority supporting whatever actions the Commission may take. The company is confident that it will be vindicated in due course in the courts.
