Breaking: Binance, Binance.US Reaches Deal With The US SEC
The world’s largest crypto exchange Binance and its subsidiary Binance.US have reached a proposed agreement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), pending approval from a federal judge.
As part of the proposed agreement, only Binance.US employees could access customer funds on the US-based crypto exchange. Binance Global officials will be restricted from having access to private keys of all wallets including cold and hot wallets, any other hardware wallets, as well as Binance.US’s internal systems and controls.
Binance and US SEC Agree to Proposed Deal
According to a notice of proposed stipulation and consent order submitted to the US District Court for the District of Columbia on June 16, the plaintiff US SEC and defendants Binance Holdings and Binance.US have reached an agreement.
As per the agreement, no Binance Holdings officials will have access to Binance.US’s wallets including hardware wallets and systems such as Amazon Web Services tools. Moreover, Binance.US will share a detailed financial statement including business expenses and estimated costs with the US SEC in the next few weeks.
The move comes after Judge Amy Berman Jackson asked the US SEC and Binance.US to reach an agreement than to have her approve a restraining order to freeze assets of Binance’s US-based arm. The exchange said asset freeze will potentially end its business in the US and the restraining order is “unnecessary.”
