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”.
Dalam hal itu, mereka mengklaim bahwa cryptocurrency dan aset digital adalah sekuritas yang tidak terdaftar di Komisi Sekuritas dan Pertukaran AS (SEC). Mereka mendasarkan argumen ini pada fakta bahwa keberhasilan atau kegagalan LUNA bergantung pada pihak ketiga yang terpusat, Terraform Labs (TFL), dan salah satu pendiri dan CEO Kwon Do-Hyung juga dikenal sebagai Do Kwon.
Gugatan class action mengklaim:
U ST diiklankan dan dijual kepada investor sebagai aset "aman" yang dapat digunakan untuk mendapatkan pengembalian yang substansial, termasuk dalam bentuk bunga. Harga UST dan LUNA masing-masing bergantung pada, dan terus bergantung pada, upaya dan keberhasilan (atau kegagalan) 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
Regulator sekuritas AS bersikap ambigu tentang posisinya pada cryptocurrency. Komisi gagal, menurut pelaku tertentu dalam industri, untuk memberikan kejelasan hukum dan peraturan.
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.”
Seorang juru bicara untuk 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 koin (BNB).
Selain itu, investigasi dari 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.
