They contend that the framework proposed by Binance needs to be more flexible and familiar with the current legal system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SEC accuses Binance of violating securities law by introducing the BNB token and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/binance-usd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Binance USD (BUSD), <span class=\"wpil-link-icon\" title=\"Link goes to external site.\" style=\"margin: 0 0 0 5px;\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"height:16px; width:16px; fill:#000000; stroke:#000000; display:inline-block;\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:svg=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><use href=\"#wpil-svg-outbound-7-icon-path\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a>as evidenced by its allegations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, the SEC asserts that the corporation's staking and earning programs constitute securities law violations. Furthermore, the SEC challenges Binance's reliance on the &#8220;Major Questions Doctrine,&#8221; a legal defense principle that crypto firms are progressively employing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Binance Conflicts SEC Regarding Legal Reach<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Changpeng Zhao, the founder of Binance and its U.S. subsidiary, has contended that the SEC's lawsuit exceeds the scope of its regulatory authority. In their opinion, the agency is required to illustrate how its activities infringe upon securities laws sufficiently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nonetheless, this notion has been categorically rejected by the SEC, which remains committed to upholding the legal frameworks established by Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This legal dispute arose after the SEC's ongoing investigation regarding the cryptocurrency sector. The defense of the exchange contests how the SEC construed their activities as infractions, whereas the SEC maintains its position that conventional securities law should be applied to the cryptocurrency industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The US SEC has denied Binance&#8217;s motion to dismiss the litigation, citing significant misunderstandings of securities law.
