It views the abrupt move to litigation as a misguided approach, believing it undermines the U. S. 's status as a global leader in financial innovation.

Binance asserts the SEC's allegations do not warrant enforcement action and pledges to vigorously defend its platform. The firm denounces any claims of risk to user assets on Binance. US and its affiliate platforms as baseless, instead suggesting the SEC's move is more about grabbing headlines than protecting investors.

Despite the setback, Binance vows to continue cooperating with global regulators and policymakers, focusing on fostering innovation while safeguarding consumer protections. The firm sees itself as a defender of the cryptocurrency technology from misinformed lawsuits and reaffirms its commitment to a secure, reliable platform for its users.
