Binance has secured another legal victory in the United States after a federal court in Alabama dismissed all claims against the crypto exchange in a lawsuit accusing it of violating the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA).
The ruling marks Binance’s second major courtroom win on similar allegations within a week, following a decision in the Southern District of New York.
In a 19-page ruling, the court found that the plaintiffs’ complaint failed to meet basic legal standards.
The judge referred to the lawsuit as a “shotgun pleading,” which means that it broadly grouped all the defendants. In essence, the lawsuit did not provide a clear and concise explanation of the claims, which is a fundamental requirement in U.S. legal proceedings.
As a result, the court dismissed all claims against Binance. The plaintiffs, on the other hand, have until April 10, 2026, to file an amended complaint that fixes the problems the court found.
The court also warned that failure to properly fix these shortcomings could lead to the case being dismissed entirely.
Binance management welcomes court decision
The exchange welcomed the decision with Eleanor Hughes, General Counsel at Binance, saying the ruling reinforces the company’s commitment to defending itself and its community against what it believes are baseless legal claims.
Hughes said that claims of breaking sanctions and funding terrorism are very serious and need strong proof and strong legal arguments.
She also noted that the courts have already examined similar allegations against Binance in two separate cases and dismissed them.
New court ruling comes after previous win
The latest ruling comes just after Binance won in New York, where the court again dismissed allegations that it had assisted and conspired with terrorist organizations.
Combined, these rulings appear to be a boost for Binance as it continues to deal with legal and regulatory issues around the globe.
Binance says it will continue to invest in compliance and legal oversight while fighting back against allegations it believes are false.
