Top crypto exchange Binance is intending to ask a court to dismiss the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (CFTC) suit against it, according to a new filing on Monday.

The CFTC sued Binance, its founder Changpeng Zhao, and compliance officer Samuel Lim in a U.S. court in Illinois in March, alleging that the exchange operated a derivatives trading operation in the U.S. and directed its American customers to obscure their identities to evade restrictions.

Since then, attitudes toward the U.S. regulatory environment have shifted, with Ripple scoring a partial win against the Securities and Exchange Commission earlier in July.

Binance’s response to the CFTC’s complaint is due later this week, on July 27. The filing did not specify Binance’s argument, only that it is requesting to exceed the standard 15-page limit due to the complexity of the case. According to the filing, Lim also intends to file a separate Motion to Dismiss.
