Court dismissed Anti-Terrorism Act lawsuits against Binance, citing weak claims and no evidence linking the exchange to terrorism.
Binance has secured another legal victory in the United States. A federal court in Alabama dismissed all claims against the crypto exchange under the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA). The ruling comes shortly after a similar decision in New York that also rejected accusations against the company.
Alabama Court Finds Lawsuit Against Binance Legally Deficient
Binance secured another legal victory after a U.S. federal court in Alabama dismissed a lawsuit accusing the exchange of violating the Anti-Terrorism Act. This marks Binance’s second major legal win in the United States within two weeks.
In a 19-page ruling, the court found the complaint lacked enough facts to support the claims. The judge said the lawsuit did not meet basic legal requirements. Court documents described the filing as a “shotgun pleading,” meaning the lawsuit grouped several defendants together without clearly explaining what each allegedly did.
We're proud to announce that a U.S. federal court in Alabama has dismissed all claims against #Binance in a lawsuit brought under the Anti-Terrorism Act.

According to the judge, the complaint also failed to clearly set out the allegations against Binance. It did not provide a clear explanation of the alleged wrongdoing.
U.S. legal rules require plaintiffs to present a short and clear statement of their claims. The court ruled that the lawsuit did not meet that standard.
However, the plaintiffs were allowed to amend the complaint. The court gave them until April 10, 2026, to correct the problems identified in the ruling. Failure to do so could lead to the dismissal of the entire case.
Second Federal Court Finds No Evidence in Anti-Terrorism Case Against Binance
At the same time, legal observers point to a wider pattern in recent rulings involving Binance. Another U.S. federal court recently dismissed a similar lawsuit against the exchange.
Earlier this month, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York rejected Anti-Terrorism Act claims filed against Binance. The case involved 535 plaintiffs who alleged links between the exchange and 64 terrorist attacks.
In a 62-page ruling, the court dismissed those accusations. Judges said there was no evidence that Binance supported terrorist groups or assisted their activities.
The court also rejected claims that the company took part in conspiracies tied to the attacks. Similar to the recent case, the plaintiffs failed to prove that Binance had any connection to terrorist operations.
Binance officials also stressed ongoing efforts related to compliance and governance. The company has invested heavily in compliance systems and regulatory engagement over the past few years. Legal teams say these measures aim to strengthen oversight across the exchange’s global operations.
