Binance was launched in 2017, and in July that year, it deployed its native token via an Initial Coin Offering (ICO). Binance Coin (BNB) was distributed amongst early backers and angel investors and the exchange’s core team.
The token was sold for 15 cents at its public sale, and it help Binance to raise around $15 million in funds. The money was used to improve the platform, growth, marketing, education, and more.
Citing people familiar with the matter, Bloomberg claims the Commission is investigating if Binance should have registered BNB as a security and if the ICO constitutes the illegal sales of an unregistered security. The token is currently of the most popular in the world and has been moving from the third to the fifth position in terms of market capitalization.

Binance deny these accusations and highlighted its role in assisting law enforcement agencies to prevent criminals from levering its platform for illegal activities.

A jogi csata még korántsem ért véget, de úgy tűnik, hogy a legutóbbi fejlemények nem kedveznek a szabályozónak. Ebben az értelemben Collins Belton jogi szakértő kommentálta the following on the probe against Binance Coin (BNB):
5 év telt el, és az mcap magasabb, mint a legtöbb amerikai vállalatnál. Miért várna ilyen sokáig a lehetséges lépések megtételével, ha aggódik a lehetséges károk miatt? Ha hagyjuk, hogy a dolgok csak akkor szúrjanak ki, ha egyszer hatalmasra szúrják, úgy tűnik, a fogyasztók ártalmatlanításának receptje, nem pedig annak megakadályozása.
