⚖️ SEC drops lawsuit against Binance
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially withdrawn its civil lawsuit against Binance and its founder Changpeng Zhao. The lawsuit, filed in 2023, accused Binance of violating securities laws, including operating without registration and manipulating client funds. The SEC's decision reflects a shift in regulatory policy in the U.S. following the election of Donald Trump's administration, which demonstrates a more favorable attitude toward the cryptocurrency industry.
