The highly anticipated hearing on the SEC’s lawsuit against Binance took place today in Washington. That’s because the trial revealed several challenges for major exchanges.

Last year, the SEC further complicated the cryptocurrency regulatory landscape by accusing Binance and its U.S. branch of multiple violations, including inflating trading volume, misusing customer funds, and misleading investors about market controls.

Presiding over the case, Judge Berman Jackson took a direct approach, bypassing prepared arguments and asking pointed questions. her skepticism Utilizing the “scheme” language of the landmark Howey case to discuss the need for covenants in investment agreements sets an important tone for the proceedings.

SEC v. @Binance Hearing, Update I

Judge Berman Jackson skipped prepared arguments and went straight to questions.

She started with the defense team.

-I seemed skeptical that the investment agreement actually required a contract.

– Focused on ‘scheme’…

Judge Jackson expressed doubts about the SEC’s leading questions doctrine and fair notice claims, highlighting the ongoing debate over the scope of the SEC’s authority and that of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

Unlike the Coinbase scenario, the Binance case posed unique challenges. Judge Jackson’s skepticism about the BUSD stablecoin being offered as an investment contract was clear. However, she seemed more open to the argument that Binance’s BNB tokens may have initially been offered as investment contracts. This results in a wider range of Argument It talks about the status of tokens in the secondary market and challenges the SEC’s position that tokens embody investment contracts in perpetuity.

SEC vs. Binance Hearing (My) Conclusion:

– 2nd sale: Binance 👍!
– Fair Notice and Key Question Doctrine: SEC 👍!
– @cz_binance : CZ 👍!
– Howey Test: SEC 👍!

And if you own BNB tokens👎, keep an eye out for the “Sell” button!

The court hearing ended without a clear resolution of the SEC’s jurisdiction over tokens like Filecoin, with no mention of other major tokens like Cardano or Solana. The judge refused to hold a mini-trial for each token mentioned in the complaint, especially when the issuer did not participate in the case.

As the legal battle unfolds, the outcome will be watched closely by the world and will shape the future of cryptocurrency regulation.
