Amerikaanse rechtbank dagvaardt Binance-CEO Changpeng Zhao
- De SEC heeft onlangs Binance en Coinbase aangeklaagd voor het aanbieden van niet-geregistreerde effecten.
De United States District Court voor Washington, DC, heeft uitgegeven een dagvaarding voor Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao. Dit komt dagen nadat Zhao en Binance werden aangeklaagd door de Amerikaanse Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) wegens vermeende schending van de Amerikaanse effectenwetten.
Zhao reportedly has 21 days to respond to the order. However, the summons has not been officially served. So Zhao’s countdown only begins when a formal order is in place. Zhao risks a judgment by default if he fails to acknowledge the summons within the given time.
As per multiple reports, Zhao may not be required to attend in person but must recognize and respond to the summons once it has been served. Zhao took to Twitter to react to the news. The Binance CEO explained that the summons was “just part of the SEC-compliant process. Nothing new.”
Although Binance has not yet publicly responded to the summons, the exchange has made it clear that it will challenge the SEC’s lawsuit. The SEC accused Binance of selling unregistered securities through its staking services and operating illegally in the US.

In response to the SEC’s claims, Binance denied mismanaging its users’ funds, making large donations to government officials, or paying to sponsor media organizations to cover its interests.
Binance zei in een verklaring:
Onze gemeenschap komt uit veel verschillende rassen, etniciteiten en overtuigingen; we zullen blijven BOUWEN voor onze gebruikers en opkomen voor de industrie. Wij zijn anders dan _____. Wij zijn Binance.
The SEC’s rechtszaak against Coinbase and Binance seemed to have united the crypto industry. Both experts and enthusiasts have expressed support for both crypto exchanges, adding that the SEC’s actions will drive innovation away from the US.
Kristin Smith, the CEO of the Blockchain Association, noted that “the SEC doesn’t make the law. Indeed, this approach to regulation is unacceptable, but it is what we have come to expect from the SEC and its anti-crypto stance.”
Tether’s chief technological officer, Paolo Ardoino, thinks the SEC should pay attention to the complaints of crypto companies.
Most crypto users believe the SEC’s case against Binance and Coinbase will decide the fate of the industry in the US.
