Binance to face class action after US Supreme Court denies petition for review

January 14, 2025 Coin Telegraph

Binance

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.

SEC nets record $8.2B from enforcement, mostly from Terraform Labs

SEC nets record .2B from enforcement, mostly from Terraform Labs

Coin Telegraph

Terraform Labs’ near $4.5 billion settlement with the SEC has contributed to a record year for the agency’s financial penalties.

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission hit a new record for penalties and fines from its enforcement actions in the fiscal year 2024 — due mainly to a massive settlement with crypto firm Terraform Labs.

The agency net $8.2 billion in financial remedies for the year ending Sept. 30 — “the highest amount in SEC history,” it said in its Nov. 22 annual report — despite the number of cases declining 26% from last year to 583.

Over half of the total came from the SEC’s court win against Terraform and former CEO Do Kwon, who paid a $4.47 billion settlement after being found liable for fraud over its blockchain ecosystem’s collapse in 2022 that wiped billions of dollars.

Bitcoin price drops under $67K as investors chase profit in stocks

Bitcoin price drops under K as investors chase profit in stocks

Biden

Bitcoin pulled back from its range high as investors moved to greener pastures, but a possible misstep by the SEC could benefit BTC.

Bitcoin (BTC) briefly ventured above $68,000 on Oct. 16, the highest level since August, but holding this level proved harder than anticipated. With Bitcoin price now trading below $67,500, the primary question at hand is whether BTC price can restore its bullish momentum.

Stronger-than-expected economic data in the United States reduced investors’ appetite for alternative hedging instruments, while a strong earnings report by TSMC shifted traders’ attention to the stock market.

The macroeconomic environment played an important role in Bitcoin’s rejection at $68,000, but one event in the cryptocurrency industry in particular has triggered expectations of a more benevolent attitude toward crypto from the current Biden-Harris administration.
