The U.S. SEC is amending its lawsuit against Binance, Binance.US, and co-founder Changpeng Zhao, specifically regarding third-party crypto asset securities.
The SEC intends to modify its complaint without needing a court ruling on the status of certain crypto tokens, following a decision that BNB and secondary sales of BUSD are not securities.
Both parties have agreed to a 30-day schedule for submitting these amendments and related documents.
