- The US Supreme Court has upheld the class action lawsuit against Binance, solidifying its position in regulatory oversight.
- This ruling marked a significant impact on BNB’s market actions, resulting in liquidations amounting to $1.9 million due to price fluctuations.
On the grounds of regulatory compliance and jurisdictional reach, the US Supreme Court determined that Binance is subject to US securities laws despite lacking a physical presence within the United States.
The recent court decision severely impacted Binance Coin (BNB), which plunged to a low of $660 before attempting a recovery to about $687 at press time.
Case details
This issue follows from a 2020 class action lawsuit where investors accused Binance of trading unregistered securities as per US law standards.
The exchange contested these allegations and was initially victorious when Judge Andrew Carter dismissed the case in March 2022. However, this ruling was overturned by the Manhattan Court of Appeals last March, citing that Binance’s operations involving US investors still adhere to securities regulations due to their access via domestic servers.
Binance seeks appeal
In December 2024, Binance petitioned for an appeal with the US Supreme Court. The exchange argued that recent technological advancements facilitate foreign market accessibility for wider demographics than ever before. According to them:
“The internet has democratized investment opportunities previously restricted by geographical barriers.”
The Supreme Court ultimately rejected this appeal and confirmed that relevant laws govern its operations within US markets. The case is progressing under these legal constraints.
The news surrounding this decision adversely affected BNB market dynamics. Data from Coinglass highlighted significant activity:
