Binance and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have jointly filed a motion to pause the latter’s lawsuit against the crypto exchange for 60 days.
The motion references the SEC’s newly established crypto task force as a potential influence on the case and states that “the work of this task force may impact and facilitate the potential resolution of this case.”
After the 60-day period, both parties intend to submit a joint status report to assess whether an extension of the stay is warranted.
This move could set a precedent for other non-fraud cases involving cryptocurrency firms, such as Ripple, Coinbase, and Kraken, to seek similar pauses in legal proceedings.
