In a pivotal ruling, the First District Court of Appeals in Florida has unanimously overturned the permanent ban on Binance, the world's leading cryptocurrency exchange, citing procedural irregularities in the state's financial regulators' actions.
The ban, initiated by the Florida Office of Financial Regulation following former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao's legal issues, lacked substantial evidence to support claims of imminent danger posed by Zhao's actions. The court's decision deemed the emergency suspension order invalid due to the regulators' failure to establish a clear legal basis for their actions.
While Binance celebrates this legal triumph, Changpeng Zhao, commonly known as CZ, faces personal legal repercussions, including a four-month prison sentence for his involvement in money laundering activities on the exchange. Despite prosecutors seeking a longer sentence, Zhao's agreement to pay substantial fines contributed to a relatively lenient outcome.
Simultaneously, Binance's native token, BNB, has experienced a notable surge, mirroring the broader market uptrend. With a 7% increase in the past week and a 4% gain over the last month, BNB approaches its all-time high (ATH) of $686, recorded during the 2021 bull market.
While BNB's trading volume has dipped recently, the current uptrend suggests potential resistance levels at $621.5 and $633, with support levels at $614 and $605 crucial for maintaining bullish momentum and preventing a downtrend.
