Binance nag-sue sa WSJ dahil sa Iran-linked transfer report
Nag-file ng kaso si Binance laban sa Wall Street Journal at Dow Jones noong March 11, claiming na binalewala ng outlet ang corrections at nag-publish ng at least 11 false statements sa February report tungkol sa Iran-linked transfers.
Key Takeaway
Hindi na tahimik nag-settle si Binance—nag-sue na sila ng major outlets habang bumababa na ang regulatory heat under Trump.
Dineman ni Binance ang Wall Street Journal at Dow Jones noong March 11 dahil sa February 23 report na nag-claim na nag-investigate ang exchange ng ₱59.76 billion ($1 billion) worth ng transfers linked sa Iran-backed groups. Sinasabi ng suit na binalewala ng Journal ang corrections at nag-publish ng at least 11 false statements.
Markang shift ito para sa exchange, na may 300 million users na ngayon at may hawak na ₱2.63 trillion ($44 billion) sa customer Bitcoin wallets as of February. Dineman na rin ni Binance ang Forbes noong 2020 dahil sa "Tai Chi" article pero in-drop nila yung case later. Personal naman na kinasuhan ni founder Changpeng Zhao ang Modern Media, Hong Kong partner ng Bloomberg Businessweek, noong 2022 dahil sa "Ponzi scheme" headline.
Swak naman ang timing sa regulatory relief under Trump administration. Pinardon ni Trump si CZ noong October 2025, at nag-dismiss ang SEC ng civil case nito against Binance with prejudice noong May 2025. Sinabi ng agency na appropriate ang move "in the exercise of its discretion and as a policy matter," hindi dahil "fully vindicated" si Binance on the merits.
Pero tuloy pa rin ang legal pressure. Tinanggihan ng federal judge ang attempt ni Binance na i-force sa arbitration ang certain customer-loss claims noong February. Nag-open naman si Senator Richard Blumenthal ng preliminary inquiry same month regarding alleged sanctions exposure related sa Iran at Russia. Noong March 6, nanalo sina Binance at Zhao sa dismissal ng lawsuit ng victims ng 64 attacks, though may leave to amend pa rin.
Kontrol ni Binance ang 38.3% ng spot volume market share noong December, according to CoinGecko. Nag-invest ang MGX ng ₱119.52 billion ($2 billion) sa Binance sa deal na reportedly involved ang USD1, isang Trump-linked entity.
