The SEC argues that Binance.US’ motion to dismiss the lawsuit must be denied by the court due to securities violations under the Howey test and investment contract rules including illegally listed unregistered securities in the form of crypto. Also, the SEC also refused to accept overreaching to regulate the crypto industry, claiming to protect investors under the existing securities laws.

Meanwhile, Judge Jackson set an in-person hearing on the motion to dismiss the U.S. SEC’s complaints against all Binance, Binance.US, and CEO CZ on January 18, 2024.
