The court has rejected the claims that Binance assisted, participated in, or conspired with terrorists. This is a decisive legal dismissal of all the claims.
ABU DHABI, UAE, March 7, 2026 — Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange in terms of registered users, announced today that a U.S. federal court in the Southern District of New York has dismissed all the claims brought 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 decision, the court found that the plaintiffs failed to prove any of their main claims: that Binance assisted terrorists, that Binance was associated with terrorist attacks, that Binance participated in or tried to promote those attacks, or that Binance conspired with terrorist organizations.
“This dismissal completely clears us of all false accusations,” said Eleanor Hughes, Binance’s General Counsel. “The court has clearly rejected the false and harmful story that Binance assisted terrorists. We have always said that these claims were baseless, and today’s ruling confirms that. We will continue to strongly defend ourselves against any lawsuits or reports that misinterpret who we are and how we operate.”
A Full and Complete Legal Victory
The court’s decision to dismiss all claims – across every allegation – represents a decisive legal victory.
Although the court has given the plaintiffs 60 days to file an amended complaint in light of a recent appellate decision, Binance is confident that no amended pleading can fix the fundamental flaws the court identified. The underlying claims have been thoroughly examined and rejected.
Commitment to Compliance and Legal Integrity
Binance has continuously invested in industry – leading compliance infrastructure, regulatory engagement, and legal governance. Today’s ruling affirms that Binance’s operations do not support, facilitate, or enable terrorism in any form.
The company will continue to engage constructively with regulators around the world, operate within established legal frameworks, and take strong legal action when necessary to correct false and misleading stories about its business.
