Binance Eyes Victory in Other Motions
Binance partial victory fueled positive sentiment in the crypto market as the judge indirectly sided with Judge Torres doctrine on crypto secondary sales and programmatic sales are not securities.
The court ruled crypto tokens are not securities, sales of BNB on secondary exchanges were not sufficiently alleged to be securities, and stablecoin BUSD is not classified as a security. The decision on BUSD was based on US DOJ filings in Mango Markets lawsuit that contradicted the SEC’s position that BUSD and other stablecoins are unregistered securities.
The motion to dismiss by Binance.US was rejected by the court, but the crypto exchange said it remains vigilant and prepared for the next phases of this legal journey.
BNB price jumped over 2% in the past 24 hours, with the price currently trading at $$527.80. The 24-hour low and high are $511.84 and $528.27, respectively.
