Spotlight on SEC’s Unproven Claims
A crypto influencer recently shared extracts from the court proceeding between Binance and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), illuminating the absence of evidence behind SEC’s allegations. This has triggered a cascade of criticism within the crypto community.
In the court hearing, the SEC was challenged to produce tangible proof of assets being transferred offshore from BinanceUS. The SEC confessed that no such transfers had taken place, leaving the court baffled.
The court consistently requested the SEC attorneys to clarify the allegations concerning transfers and the precise charges related to funds leaving U.S. entities, emphasizing the need for solid evidence. However, the SEC’s responses fell short of showing any firm proof of the outflow of funds.

Court transcripts underscore the court’s incessant queries regarding the SEC’s claims, underlining the vagueness and lack of supportive evidence provided by the SEC attorneys. The court’s skepticism was amplified as the SEC failed to justify its accusations of mixing customer assets or misdirection against Binance.
Crypto aficionados responded to these revelations with annoyance at the SEC’s groundless claims and their efforts to incite fear within the crypto market. Many viewed the court hearing as a crucial event, laying bare the SEC’s methods and hinting at a possible victory for the crypto industry against baseless regulatory actions.
