CFTC Charges Binance with Willful Evasion of Federal Law; CEO Changpeng Zhao Named in Lawsuit

The CFTC has взимается Binance with willful evasion of federal law as the regulator insists Binance operated an illegal digital asset derivatives exchange. The CFTC filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The regulator claims that Binance engaged in a calculated strategy of regulatory arbitrage to their commercial benefit.

The crux of the charges stem from Binance allegedly offering commodity derivatives transactions to U.S. residents from 2019 until today. Under CEO Changpeng Zhao’s direction, Binance’s compliance program has been ineffective, the regulator stressed in a press statement.

“The complaint charges that for much of the relevant period, Binance did not require its customers to provide any identity-verifying information before trading on the platform, despite the legal duty that entities like Binance functioning as futures commission merchants (FCMs) collect such information, and failed to implement basic compliance procedures designed to prevent and detect terrorist financing and money laundering,” the CFTC explained on Monday.

The CFTC notes that facilitating derivatives transactions without registering with the regulator is illegal. The regulator stressed that CEO Changpeng Zhao is responsible for such compliance failures. The CFTC stated:

Zhao is liable for Binance’s violations based on his control over Binance and his long-running failure to act in good faith concerning Binance’s misconduct.

Following the news, the entire crypto economy lost 2.94% против США. dollar with bitcoin (BTC) sinking below the $27,000 per unit range. The CFTC is seeking civil monetary penalties, permanent trading and registration bans, and disgorgement. “Today’s enforcement action demonstrates that there is no location, or claimed lack of location, that will prevent the CFTC from protecting American investors,” CFTC Chairman Ростин Бехнам said in a statement.

“I have been clear that the CFTC will continue to use all of its authority to find and stop misconduct in the volatile and risky digital asset market,” Behnam added. “For years, Binance knew they were violating CFTC rules, working actively to both keep the money flowing and avoid compliance. This should be a warning to anyone in the digital asset world that the CFTC will not tolerate willful avoidance of U.S. law,” the chairman concluded.
