Per què aquests inversors LUNA van presentar una demanda col·lectiva Binance.NOSALTRES
Per un document presentat with the U.S. District Court of Northern District of California, Binance.US users want compensation for their LUNA-UST investments. The lawsuit has been filed as a class action in the United States against Binance.US and its CEO Brian Shroder.

The plaintiff claims that Binance.US has failed to “abide by U.S. federal” and securities regulations. They claimed that the exchange platform offered UST, Terra Classic algorithmic stablecoin, and LUNA now dubbed LUNC as a “safe investment”.
En aquest sentit, van afirmar que la criptomoneda i els actius digitals són valors no registrats a la Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) dels EUA. Van basar aquest argument en el fet que l'èxit o el fracàs de LUNA depenia d'un tercer centralitzat, Terraform Labs (TFL), i el seu cofundador i CEO Kwon Do-Hyung també conegut com Do Kwon.
La demanda col·lectiva reclama:
U ST es va anunciar i es va vendre als inversors com un actiu "segur" que es podria utilitzar per obtenir rendiments substancials, fins i tot en forma d'interès. Els preus respectius d'UST i LUNA depenien i continuen depenent dels esforços i l'èxit (o fracàs) de TFL.
As seen below, the plaintiffs presented a recent Binance.US advertisement as evidence. In this picture, the exchange promotes its UST staking product with a 19.63% annual percentage reward (APR) followed by a “High Yield, Safe, and Happy Earn”.

The U.S.-based platform has tried to differentiate itself from the global exchange. These efforts have translated to their brand and marketing campaigns, as seen below.

Despite the above, the plaintiffs claimed that the U.S.-based exchange allegedly failed its users when promoting its products:
Despite enjoying those fantastic profits, Binance U.S. plainly failed to comply with federal and state securities laws. Binance U.S. failed to disclose that UST is in fact a security, and that it is selling these securities, even though (i) there is no registration statement in effect for them (…).
The LUNA Aftermath, Binance Under Public Scrutiny
El regulador de valors dels Estats Units ha estat ambigu sobre la seva posició sobre les criptomonedes. Segons determinats actors del sector, la Comissió no va oferir claredat legal i normativa.
In step, it has engaged in legal battles with some of the actors in the crypto industry, including Binance.US and the LUNA’s Do Kwon. The class action claims:
Binance U.S.’s failure to comply with the securities laws, and its false advertisements of UST, have led to disastrous consequences for Binance U.S.’s customers: in May 2022, in the span of just a few days, UST lost essentially all its value—a loss of approximately $18 billion. Investors who purchased UST on Binance U.S. were wiped out, learning quickly that, contrary to Binance U.S.’s advertisements, UST was not “safe,” “stable,” or “fiat-backed.”
Un portaveu de Binance.US told Bitcoinist the following regarding the class action and its accusations:
Binance.US is registered by FinCEN and adheres to all applicable regulations. These assertions are without merit and we will defend ourselves vigorously.
The exchange has experienced a lot of scrutiny in past days as it faces an SEC investigation related to the alleged sales of an unregistered security, as mentioned, their native token Binance Moneda (BNB).
A més, una investigació de Reuters claims that Binance has been used as a platform to allegedly launder money, and support a drug operation in Russia. Binance’s CEO Changpeng Zhao dismissed the accusations.
The Reuters article yesterday is a huge waste of time and resources. This is the last I'll say on it, and the last our team will interact with the writer.
