Binance, one of the most famous and renowned exchanges in the world of cryptocurrencies, has reached an agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to avoid a complete asset freeze in the United States.
The SEC's lawsuit against Binance included 13 charges, accusing the platform of diverting funds to entities controlled by its CEO, Changpeng Zhao.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is the securities and exchange commission of the United States, and its main function is to protect investors, maintain fair markets, and facilitate capital formation. The SEC has the authority to regulate and supervise securities markets and related activities, including the issuance and marketing of securities.
With these lawsuits, the crypto world was affected in its currencies, with BNB, the flagship currency of the Binance Smart Chain, being the most affected.
The measure was taken after a United States district judge signed a consent order. The agreement ensures that the assets will be kept protected in the United States to prevent them from being moved abroad.
Trust is crucial in this world, and the SEC understands that. They know that if they manage to overthrow a giant like Binance, many investors will lose confidence in numerous crypto projects. That's why we hope for a fair clarification, which will give us an extra boost for the next bull run in the market.
