Coinbase, the largest US crypto exchange, has filed a motion to dismiss the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) lawsuit against it, Paul Grewal, the company's chief legal officer, said in a Tweet.
The crypto exchange claimed that the allegations in the lawsuit that the firm broke the agency's rules lack merit.
"We welcome dialogue any time with any regulator, including the SEC, and believe new legislation and rulemaking is the right path forward. But the claims, in this case, go far beyond existing law – and should be dismissed," Grewal stated in the tweet.
Binance is launching a presale of Cloud Mining products for BTC mining. Users will receive APR rewards from the end of the presale until the mining start time with the funds used to purchase these products through Simple Earn Flexible Products. Cloud Mining products in this presale are limited and will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis.
German regulators have told Binance they will not grant it a cryptocurrency custody license, a person with direct knowledge of the matter said on Thursday, the latest in a string of setbacks for the world's biggest cryptocurrency exchange.
Binance has come under pressure from regulators around the world. THIS MONTH, the US Securities and Exchange Commission sued Binance and its CEO, Changpeng Zhao, over what the regulator called a "web of deception" to evade US laws. Binance denies the charges. Due to confidentiality, the German regulator, BaFin, declined to comment on individual companies.
