(Reuters) - A federal judge in Washington, D.C., on Thursday put the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's civil lawsuit against Binance on hold for 60 days, granting a joint request by the regulator and the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange.
U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson issued her order after both parties on Monday said a new SEC task force to review cryptocurrency regulation may "impact and facilitate the potential resolution of this case."
