In an Aug. 16 filing in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Judge Amy Berman Jackson said she would be referring a motion for a protective order against the SEC filed by lawyers for Binance.US to Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui for a resolution. Binance.US’ legal team filed the motion on Aug. 14, claiming at the time the order was necessary to protect the firm from the SEC’s “fishing expedition” during discovery.


Prior to Jackson’s ruling, former SEC Internet Enforcement Chief John Reed Stark took to X (formerly Twitter) to speculate the matter would be referred to a magistrate judge ahead of any legal or public pushback from the commission. At the time of publication, the SEC had not filed any motions in response to Binance.US’ request.


“Though every case is different, in most large financial investigations and civil enforcement actions, the SEC’s request for documents, testimony, depositions, interrogatories, etc. typically ask for a bit too much information,” said Stark. “Along the same lines, the defendant typically asks for a bit too much by way of a protective order.”What Will Likely Happen Regarding Binance’s Recent Motion for a Protective Order In The SEC/Binance Case

The crux of the order was based on the SEC requesting information from Binance.US related to the custody, security and availability of user assets. The firm has claimed the information was not relevant to the SEC’s case, which was filed in June over alleged unregistered securities offerings.


Binance and Zhao face a lawsuit from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, for which they filed motions to dismiss in July. The global exchange is also reportedly under investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice for allegedly allowing Russian entities to use its platform.
