Binance copped a $4 billion plea but is still fighting the SEC

The article discusses how cryptocurrency exchange Binance reached a $4.3 billion legal resolution with the US Justice Department and the Treasury Department, but the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was not involved in the settlement talks. The SEC has its own legal case against Binance and has been a strict regulator in the crypto world. Settling with the SEC could have required Binance to close most of its US trading business. Binance chose to fight the SEC in court because winning the case would collapse the SEC's claims. The guilty plea and CEO's resignation allow Binance to continue operating, albeit with regulatory oversight.
