SEC Drops Lawsuit Against Binance
In late May 2025, the SEC voluntarily dismissed its high-profile civil lawsuit against Binance and founder Changpeng Zhao, formally attributing the move to a strategic policy shift under the Trump administration . The case closure (with prejudice) effectively ends claims of inflated volume, customer fund misuse, and unregistered securities.
Trump Administration Embraces Crypto Leadership
President Trump has positioned the U.S. as a “crypto-friendly” superpower—installing David Sacks as the White House AI & Crypto Czar, creating a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, and directing the government to accumulate BTC .
White House Role in Binance-Family Deal Talks
The Trump family’s World Liberty Financial has been in talks linking Binance and a $2 billion investment via a UAE-backed fund, using a Trump-affiliated stablecoin. This raised conflict-of-interest concerns, prompting whole-of-government scrutiny .
Senators Seek Clarity & Possible Conflict
Senate Democrats (Warren, Durbin, Blumenthal) have formally requested details on interactions between the White House, Binance, and its founder CZ, particularly concerning a potential presidential pardon for Zhao .
