🚨 BINANCE WINS LAWSUIT AGAINST THE SEC🚨
A U.S. federal court has ruled that cryptocurrencies, including Binance’s BNB token, are not securities. This ruling marks a significant victory for Binance and the broader crypto community, potentially influencing other ongoing legal battles in the sector.
⚖️ Court Ruling Highlights ⚖️
Judge's Decision: Judge Amy Berman Jackson of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled that cryptocurrencies and secondary sales of BNB do not constitute securities offerings. This decision dismissed several claims made by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Howey Test: The court found that the SEC failed to demonstrate that purchasers in secondary market sales acquired BNB with an expectation of profits, which is crucial for passing the Howey test. This test, established by the Supreme Court, determines whether a transaction qualifies as an investment contract.
Legal Precedent: The ruling emphasized that the SEC’s approach muddied the issues and ignored controlling Supreme Court precedent. The focus should be on whether the circumstances surrounding each transaction render it a securities transaction, not on the cryptocurrencies themselves.
🏆 A Major Win for Binance and Crypto 🏆
This ruling is a significant triumph for Binance.US and the broader crypto industry, which has faced increased scrutiny from the SEC. The regulator’s aggressive approach, especially after the collapse of FTX, aimed to prevent similar incidents but faced criticism for potentially stifling innovation.
Implications for Ripple: This decision could positively impact other legal battles, such as the ongoing SEC vs. Ripple lawsuit, by setting a precedent that cryptocurrencies themselves are not securities.
What do you think about this WIN?
I say : Congratulations ✨💛 well deserved Binance.
