Jesse Coghlan7 hours agoBinance used ‘tortured’ interpretation of law in bid to toss suit, says SECThe SEC derided Binance’s request to have the regulator’s suit thrown out, claiming the crypto exchange hasn’t correctly applied the law.1693 Total views5 Total sharesListen to article 0:00NewsJoin us on social networksBinance’s arguments used in its motion to dismiss a lawsuit from the United States securities regulator relies on an incorrect legal analysis and have no basis in law, the regulator has argued.


In a Nov. 7 court filing the SEC rebuffed Binance’s earlier bid to toss the regulator’s suit saying no court has adopted Binance’s “tortured interpretation of the law.”


The SEC sued Binance in June alleging it, Binance.US and its founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao sold unregistered securities and failed to register as an exchange in the United States.


Binance argued the SEC failed to introduce crypto guidelines, misinterpreted securities laws and applied them to crypto and called the suit an overstep of its authority.


In its latest rebuttal, the SEC claimed Binance “never complied” with federal securities laws which was “a deliberate choice.”“Binance’s Chief Compliance Officer crudely but succinctly summed up this case when he admitted that Binance was ‘operating as a fking unlicensed securities exchange in the USA bro.’ He was right.”


It added Binance’s arguments that compared crypto to “supermarket items like oranges [...] are absurd” and claimed the crypto exchange’s crypto sales are investment contracts under the Howey test.

The regulator reiterated its claims the BNB (BNB) initial coin offering violated securities laws and Binance USD (BUSD) along with the yield-bearing staking, Vault and Earn programs are investment contracts.Highlighted excerpt of the SEC’s arguments claiming Binance sold unregistered securities from unregistered exchanges in the U.S. Source: CourtListener


It also rebuffed Binance’s argument that the suit violated the major questions doctrine — a 2022 U.S. Supreme Court ruling saying Congress doesn’t delegate authority to agencies, which other crypto firms have cited in their aim to push back on the SEC’s claimed authority.


The SEC claimed granting Binance’s dismissal request would “dismantle decades of foundational precedent upon which the nation’s securities laws operate” and in its place would be a “rigid framework” that upends the “broad, flexible regime” of the current laws.
