Binance and SEC Seek 60-Day Pause in Legal Battle

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Binance, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, have jointly requested a 60-day pause in their ongoing legal battle. The motion, filed in the District Court of Columbia, comes amid significant changes in the SEC’s leadership and a shift toward a more lenient regulatory approach under the Trump administration.

The motion names Binance Holdings Limited, BAM Trading Services Inc., BAM Management US Holdings Inc., and Changpeng Zhao (Binance’s founder) as defendants, with the SEC as the plaintiff. Both parties have urged the court to grant a two-month stay, citing the need for efficient use of judicial resources and the potential for an early resolution.

The filing states: “A district court considers three factors when deciding whether to stay a case: (1) harm to the nonmoving party if a stay does issue; (2) the moving party’s need for a stay—that is, the harm to the moving party if a stay does not issue; and (3) whether a stay would promote efficient use of the court’s resources. Here, the Parties believe a brief stay is warranted.”

After 60 days, the parties plan to submit a joint status report to determine whether an extension of the stay is necessary.

What Led to the Motion?

The legal battle between Binance and the SEC began in June 2023, when the SEC accused Binance of operating as an unregistered securities exchange and misleading investors. The SEC alleged that Binance’s lack of transparency and reliance on related-party transactions posed significant investor risks.

Binance has consistently argued that the U.S. lacks clear regulatory guidelines for distinguishing between securities and commodities in the crypto space. This regulatory ambiguity has been a recurring issue for crypto exchanges, including Coinbase, which has faced legal challenges from the SEC.

The recent shift in the SEC’s approach under Acting Chair Mark Uyeda, who replaced the crypto-sceptic Gary Gensler in January, has created a more favourable environment for the crypto sector. Additionally, President Donald Trump has prioritized the establishment of clear cryptocurrency regulations, forming a dedicated Task Force to address the issue.

Binance and SEC Potential for Resolution

Both Binance and the SEC believe that the Task Force’s efforts could lead to a resolution of their legal dispute. The joint filing notes: “The SEC proposed a brief stay to Defendants, and the Defendants agreed that a stay is appropriate and in the interest of judicial economy. As this is a joint motion, there is no prejudice to any party here, and a stay could save the Parties resources because, if an early resolution could be reached, it would obviate the need to continue merits discovery.”

The court’s decision on the motion is expected in the coming days, though the exact timeline remains uncertain.

The Binance-SEC case highlights the ongoing challenges crypto exchanges operating in the U.S. face due to the lack of clear regulatory frameworks. Under President Trump, the U.S. is poised to take several pro-crypto steps, including creating comprehensive guidelines for the sector. During his election campaign, Trump promised to transform the U.S. into the crypto capital of the world, signalling a potential shift toward greater regulatory clarity and support for the industry.
