Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao is pleased the disagreement with the SEC is over.

Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao expressed his happiness and relief as a prolonged dispute with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was successfully resolved. The SEC’s ongoing scrutiny had created a tense and uncertain period for the company, making the resolution a welcome development.

As the regulatory uncertainty begins to fade, CZ can now concentrate on Binance’s future. In a tweet, the veteran crypto entrepreneur emphasized that the SEC’s emergency relief request was unnecessary, affirming that the mutually agreed resolution would enable Binance to progress unhindered.

In a noteworthy turn of events, Judge Amy Berman Jackson of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia gave her approval to the “Proposed Stipulation and Consent Order” that was reached between Binance, Binance.US and the SEC on Saturday, June 18.

As per the consent order, Binance is obligated to “repatriate” all fiat currency and cryptocurrency assets associated with Binance.US by the date specified in the court’s ruling. Additionally, the agreement imposes restrictions on Binance global officials, disallowing them from accessing the private keys of all wallets, including cold and hot wallets.

In spite of the challenges and regulatory hurdles faced by Binance in recent times, CZ emphasized the company’s unwavering dedication to ongoing operations. While expressing content regarding the resolution of the SEC issue, the CEO of Binance underlined the assurance that users’ funds have remained, and will continue to remain, safe and secure across all Binance-associated services.

Moreover, Binance has indicated that its BNB Smart Chain is currently exploring the possibility of developing and launching a layer-2 blockchain scaling solution.
