This Wednesday, a summons intended for the CEO of Binance, Changpeng Zhao, was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The summons is part of a recent SEC lawsuit and gives CZ 21 to respond or risk a \u201cjudgment by default\u201d.<\/p>\n

US District Court Issues Summons to Changpeng Zhao<\/h3>\n

On June 7th, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia issued a summons to the CEO of Binance, Changpeng Zhao. The summons pertains to the recent lawsuit filed by the SEC against Zhao, as well as his company.<\/p>\n

On Twitter, Binance\u2019s CEO confirmed the veracity of the summons but pointed out that he mustn\u2019t respond to it in person. He also stated that he believes that the filing is part of standard procedure and that anyone claiming it is bigger than that is spreading \u201cFUD\u201d (fear, uncertainty, and doubt).<\/p>\n

Throughout Wednesday, the price of multiple digital assets continued its decline which dramatically started on Monday and was reinforced on Tuesday after the SEC unveiled its lawsuit against Coinbase, the second of the week. Binance\u2019s BNB was especially affected and declined to under $260 by the afternoon of June 7th.<\/p>\n

Binance Hit With a Major SEC Lawsuit<\/h3>\n

Binance, along with its various entities, became the target of a major SEC lawsuit on Monday, June 5th. Additionally, the Commission named the company\u2019s CEO, Changpeng Zhao in the lawsuit.<\/p>\n

The regulator alleges numerous wrongdoings in its filing including the offering of unregistered securities, allowing access to US customers without being properly registered for it, comingling assets, and wash trading.<\/p>\n

Despite this week offering what could be described as the SEC\u2019s most dramatic actions this year, the Commission has been very active when it comes to targeting the cryptocurrency industry throughout 2023. It has initiated enforcement actions against various digital assets firms, and has, notably. settled with Kraken on the condition that the firm discontinues its staking service.<\/p>\n
