Binance US faces a class-action lawsuit over the sale of UST and LUNA contracts.

Lawsuits have been launched against Binance.US by investors who purchased TerraUSD (UST) and LUNA via the Binance.US platform. In a class-action lawsuit filed Monday in California’s Northern District, investors allege that the exchange sold unregistered securities in UST and LUNA to investors by deceiving them into purchasing the tokens.

On behalf of investors who were deprived of their assets during the earlier UST/LUNA concocted collapse, the law firms Dontzin Nagy Fleissig and Roche Freedman filed the legal lawsuit. According to the complaint, because Binance.US is not registered as a broker-dealer in the United States, it is violating the country’s securities laws.

The petitioners in this case claimed that the crypto exchange was actively promoting a risky project in which the parent company had previously invested. When the lawsuit was filed, it became clear that the exchange not only helped and backed a security token, but that its parent company also listed LUNA 2.0’s second version after the first one failed.
