Latest Minute Entry Reveals Order for Status Report in SEC vs. Binance

A judge named Zia M. Faruqui has instructed both Binance and the SEC to provide updates on the progress of their investigation by April 5. This is part of the “expedited discovery” process in the ongoing legal battle between the two parties.

The SEC is conducting a thorough examination of Binance’s operations, focusing on aspects such as asset tracking and adherence to regulations. They are closely scrutinizing Binance’s software for digital wallets and how the company handles its customers’ funds.

Binance has already submitted a substantial amount of documentation, consisting of 300,000 pages, to demonstrate their compliance with the rules. However, they have also expressed their willingness to provide additional information, including internal chats among their staff, to further clarify their practices. This demonstrates their transparency and commitment to operating legitimately within the United States.

At the center of this dispute is Changpeng Zhao, the founder of Binance. The SEC is particularly interested in his role and how he managed the company. It appears that Zhao and his team are actively collaborating with the SEC to address any concerns raised. Previously, the SEC had accused Binance of non-cooperation during the investigation.

Despite the heightened regulatory scrutiny, Binance has not remained stagnant. They have taken steps to separate their $10 billion investment division, known as Binance Labs, from their primary cryptocurrency exchange operations.
