The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has intensified its legal approach against Binance, drawing parallels with the Ripple case. In a recent hearing, the SEC outlined four court cases, including Zakinov v. Ripple Labs, to boost its stance in the ongoing lawsuit.
Judge Amy Jackson requested both parties provide detailed citations for key cases not mentioned in earlier briefs. The SEC’s choice to cite these cases, especially Zakinov v. Ripple Labs, which delves into XRP’s status as a security, could significantly influence the outcome.
Meanwhile, the defense, comprising Binance and its affiliates, is yet to respond with their legal citations. This development adds a new layer to the complex digital asset and securities law debate.
The SEC’s decision to draw from previous cases, such as the Terraform Labs lawsuit, reveals its intent to firmly establish the legal grounds for categorizing digital tokens as securities.
This lawsuit has become a key issue in defining the regulatory boundaries for digital assets, with implications that extend far beyond Binance. The outcome of this case is poised to shape the future regulatory landscape for cryptocurrencies, setting a precedent for how they are governed in the United States.
