The court rejects allegations that Binance aided, participated in or conspired with terrorists. This means a decisive legal rejection of all claims.
MUMBAI, India, March 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by registered users, today announced that a U.S. federal court in the Southern District of New York has dismissed all claims against the company under the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA). The lawsuit involved 535 plaintiffs who alleged that Binance provided material support related to 64 terrorist attacks.
In a 62-page ruling, the Court found that the plaintiffs failed to substantiate their central allegations: that Binance aided terrorists, that Binance associated itself with terrorist attacks, that Binance participated in or attempted to further those attacks, or that Binance engaged in any conspiracy with terrorist organizations.
“This dismissal is a complete vindication of all false allegations,” said Binance General Counsel Eleanor Hughes. “The court has unequivocally rejected the false and damaging narrative that Binance has aided terrorists. We have always maintained that these claims were baseless, and today’s ruling confirms that. We will continue to aggressively defend against any lawsuit or reporting that misrepresents who we are and how we operate.”
A complete and utter legal victory
The Court’s decision to dismiss all claims – regardless of all allegations – represents a decisive legal victory.
Although the Court has given plaintiffs 60 days to file an amended complaint in light of a recent appellate decision, Binance is confident that no amended pleading will address the fundamental deficiencies the Court identified. The underlying claims have been thoroughly investigated and rejected.
Commitment to compliance and legal integrity
Binance has consistently invested in industry-leading compliance infrastructure, regulatory oversight and legal governance. Today’s ruling confirms that Binance’s activities do not support, facilitate or enable any form of terrorism.
The company will continue to work constructively with regulators around the world, operate within established legal frameworks and, where necessary, take strong legal action to correct false and misleading stories about its activities.
