The Supreme Court has denied a petition to review a lower court decision that securities laws applied to Binance.
The US Supreme Court has declined to hear an appeal from crypto exchange Binance and its founder, Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, regarding a class-action lawsuit by investors who alleged the exchange illegally sold unregistered tokens that lost significant value.
On Jan. 13, the Supreme Court of the United States denied a petition to review a lower court ruling that US securities laws applied to the crypto exchange, even though it doesn’t have a physical headquarters in America.
In March, a lower court ruled the case could proceed because token purchases were finalized in the US and transactions took place on US servers, despite Binance not being an American company.
