Binance capitulation to DoJ adds merits to US SEC case

Binance exchange’s recent capitulation to the US Department of Justice (DoJ), submitting to a $4.3 billion fine, may have harmed its case against the US SEC, according to a Bloomberg report.

According to the SEC, Binance and CEO’s admission of guilt bolsters the financial regulator’s case against the trading firm, with the SEC arguing that the Washington federal court should “weigh admissions” by Binance and its firmer chief Changpeng Zhao in the November 21 settlement against the US government.

The SEC continues to pursue Binance and its former CEO for securities law violations, asset commingling, and diverting billions of Dollars of customer funds to a third-party entity owned by CZ.

Nevertheless, the world’s largest cryptocurrency trading platform and its founder, CZ, have asked the court to dismiss the SEC’s lawsuit.
