REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration/File PhotoAug 15 (Reuters) - Crypto exchange Binance late on Monday filed for a protective court order against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission saying the regulator's requests for information were "over broad" and "unduly burdensome".
In a court filing in the US District Court of Columbia, BAM Trading, Binance U.S.'s operating company and BAM Management said the group had already provided sufficient information to the regulator.
The protective order seeks to limit the SEC, among other things, to four depositions from BAM employees, and to drop the deposition of BAM's chief executive and of its chief financial officer, without naming anyone.
Binance and the SEC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The SEC has declined BAM's proposals to meaningfully limit its requests and is opposed to the motion for a protective order, the filing said.
