Binance And US SEC Lawsuit Takes Interesting Turn
According to a court filing on September 22, BAM Management US Holdings and BAM Trading Services (BinanceUS) filed a motion for an extension of time.
The motion came in response to Magistrate Judge Zia M. Faruqui’s order to defendants to show cause to seal or redact any documents relating to the SEC’s Reply in Support of Motion to Compel. An approval of the motion will allow Binance.US to get more time to react to the SEC’s motion to compel.
Furthermore, Binance Holdings Limited and CZ claim that the SEC lacks authority and its arguments on securities violations are unclear. The defendants sought that the court should dismiss all the claims made by the SEC on the grounds that it fails to plausibly allege that any of the crypto assets it is contesting is a security.
