French investors sued Binance for over 2.4 million euros in losses

12/26 00:04

According to Cointelegraph, Binance France and its parent company Binance Holdings Limited are being sued by 15 investors in France over alleged misleading commercial practices and fraudulent concealment. In a complaint filed on Dec. 14, the plaintiffs claimed that Binance violated French laws by advertising and distributing crypto services before receiving registration from the country's authorities. France's financial market regulator, the Autorité des marchés financiers, has granted Binance a license as a digital asset provider in May 2022. The license allowed the crypto exchange to offer services such as assets custody and crypto trading. The complaint reportedly contains screenshots showing Binance's social media activity prior to its license, including a Telegram channel dubbed "Binance French". The plaintiffs also claim to have lost over 2.4 million euros following the TerraUSD (UST) collapse, while Binance advertised the token as United States dollar-backed. Binance France responded to questions about the case. According to it, the company did not conduct any promotional communications in France during the period in question, and noted that "Telegram groups are global community forums", thus allowing users to create and join channels voluntarily.
