Binance Files for Dismissal of CFTC Lawsuit<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Binance's attorneys questioned the CFTC's global regulatory scope in a 23 October filing with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specifically, they contend that the CFTC could regulate any global cryptocurrency activity <\/a>involving a derivatives product based on its logic. The filing emphasized that “Congress did not make the CFTC the world's derivatives police,” highlighting the perceived overreach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the legal representatives of Binance and CZ meticulously evaluated each CFTC charge. They emphasized that the regulator's approach “pursued a novel theory,” particularly in their anti-evasion claim. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, the attorneys believe that many of these counts need to satisfy standard criteria. In light of this, the counsel urged the court to “dismiss the Complaint with prejudice.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, this is not the first time Binance has requested the dismissal of a case. They presented a similar argument in July, highlighting the CFTC's regulatory overreach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, it is essential to note that Binance is subject to scrutiny from another major actor, the Securities and Exchange Commission <\/a>(SEC) of the United States. In June, they filed a lawsuit against the cryptocurrency titan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to its legal battles, Binance has actively improved its platform offerings. It recently announced a future support feature for Circle's native USDC stablecoin\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>. This integration will utilize the Polygon blockchain network. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notably, the exchange will shortly enable deposits and withdrawals for USDC, ensuring users receive timely notifications. Binance has already supported the coin's version, USD Coin (PoS) (USDC.e). It will henceforth be known under the ticker symbol MATICUSDCE.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
