The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed charges against Binance, its U.S.-based exchange entity and its CEO, Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, for violating securities laws.

On June 5, the SEC filed 13 charges against Binance in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia over allegations that the company misled investors and misused customer funds. The accusations of mishandling customers’ funds and violations of U.S. banking regulations were first flagged in a report published by Reuters in the last week of May. At the time, Binance had refuted all allegations, calling the report a list of conspiracy theories.
