The U.S Chamber of Digital Commerce moves to dismiss the Securities and Exchanges Commission lawsuit against Binance.

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission and cryptocurrency exchange Binance have been in a year-long conflict marked by high-stakes lawsuits and allegations. Both parties have relentlessly presented compelling arguments to assert their dominance.Recent developments hint at potential victory for Binance, as a world-leading blockchain advocacy group throws its weight behind the exchange in the ongoing legal dispute.Binance Nears Victory?In an Amicus brief filed on October 19th, the U.S Chamber Of Digital Commerce has expressed its support for the dismissal of the SEC lawsuit against Binance, CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, and affiliates.The chamber condemned the SEC’s ‘opaque regulation-by-enforcement approach,’ highlighting the commission’s failure to engage digital assets through an administrative process, hindering innovation and market growth and negatively impacting consumers.
