Regulatory and Operational Challenges Faced by the Exchange

Binance has faced multiple setbacks in the last few years, especially in the US. The heightened scrutiny after the collapse of FTX and regulatory challenges by regulators impacted Binance significantly.

Currently, Binance, Binance.US, and CZ have urged the court to dismiss the lawsuit by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The defendants claim the SEC has overreached its authority to regulate crypto assets without official consent from the U.S. Congress and irrationally considered crypto assets as securities.
