Binance has scored its second major legal victory in a US court in two weeks under the Anti-Terrorism Act. A US federal court in Alabama has dismissed all claims against Binance in a recent lawsuit.
Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, announced today that a federal court in the US state of Alabama has dismissed all claims against the company in a lawsuit accusing the company of violating the Anti-Terrorism Act. This decision marks Binance’s second major legal victory in two weeks in an ATA-related case, following its previous victory in the Southern District Court of New York.
A complete and total legal victory
In a detailed 19-page decision, the court concluded that the plaintiffs’ complaint was flawed in law and fact. The court’s dismissal of all claims is a decisive legal victory for Binance.
The judge described the lawsuit as “shotgun pleading,” emphasizing that the complaint failed to specify the claims and impermissibly lumped all defendants together without distinguishing the actions or liability of each. The ruling also noted that the plaintiffs did not meet the minimum standard for filing a lawsuit to file a “brief and clear statement” of their claims.
According to the ruling, the plaintiffs were given until April 10, 2026 to file an amended complaint that would correct the deficiencies identified by the court. At the same time, the judge warned that if these issues are not properly resolved, the entire case will be removed from the court.
Gathering momentum and adhering to legal principles
“This decision reaffirms our unwavering commitment to protecting Binance and our community from unwarranted and bad faith lawsuits,” said Eleanor Hughes, Binance’s General Counsel.
“Enforcement of sanctions and financing of terrorism are serious legal issues. they require evidence, legal rigor and due process. Courts have already examined these claims in two separate cases and found them to be unfounded. These results speak for themselves. We will not tolerate attempts to abuse the legal system to target our industry and will continue to be committed to transparency, security and full compliance with the law in all areas of our operations.”
Continuation of the series of successes
The latest decision follows Binance’s sweeping victory in New York, where the court also dismissed allegations that the company supported, participated in, or conspired with terrorists. Together, these two decisions underscore Binance’s determination to protect its platform and community.
Binance continuously invests in the development of industry-leading compliance infrastructure, cooperation with regulatory authorities and legal governance systems. The Company declares that it will continue to actively defend itself against any attempt to make unsubstantiated claims or misrepresent the Company’s operations.
