When I initially read this news I thought that the SEC was going after Binance with this asset freeze.  That would have been big news.  If they're going after Binance.us, that basically means nothing.  Nobody uses Binance.us and I can't imagine they have enough funds being held to matter.  It does display a little bit that the SEC has limits of what it is capable of doing.  I'm sure their main target was Binance, but had to settle for some tiny company that licenses their name instead.  Honestly, Binance.us imploding completely would hardly be news.  It does show the SEC is continuing to ramp up their attacks against crypto though, which I guess is concerning.
