The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the US arm of the world’s largest crypto exchange, Binance.US, have been ordered by US District Judge Amy Berman Jackson to work out a deal to avoid the freezing of assets belonging to Binance.US. The two have been referred to a magistrate judge to negotiate a deal. 

volgens a rapport from Bloomberg on June 14, the judge has ordered the SEC and Binance.US to work out a deal and protect the funds belonging to the customers of the exchange without shutting down the operations of the firm completely. In a June 13 hearing, Jackson said that “shutting it down completely would create significant consequences not only for the company but for the digital asset markets in general.”

Moreover, the judge also added that she will not come to a final conclusion on the SEC’s motion for a temporary restraining order against Binance.US until the two entities have negotiated a deal under the magistrate. Jackson noted that the US agency and the crypto exchange seemed “not that far apart” when it came to reaching an agreement on the matter.

Voordat de hoorzitting op 13 juni werd afgesloten, zei voormalig SEC-handhavingsadvocaat John Read Stark vermeld via his official Twitter account that there was “a lot of conflict between what each party” wanted to get out of the hearing. Stark explained that this “does not mean the judge cannot order a compromise and find common ground.”

Aan de andere kant, het moederbedrijf van Binance.US, BAM Trading, aangevraagd a consent order to ease some of the restrictions from the regulator’s motion to freeze the assets belonging to the crypto exchange. The document read the following:

“BAM Trading and BAM Management may continue to make payments for the purchase of goods and services, salaries for BAM Trading and BAM Management personnel, including pre-existing benefits, professional fees, and other similar ordinary-course expenditures for the operation of their businesses.”

Zoals eerder gemeld door Bitnation, is Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, ook bekend als CZ in de crypto-ruimte, een dagvaarding uitgebracht door de District Court voor Washington, DC Bovendien heeft Zhao naar verluidt 21 dagen om op het bevel te reageren.
