Cryptocurrency exchange Crypto.com announced Tuesday that it has filed suit against the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) after receiving a notice of impending legal action from the regulator.
In a post sharing the news. Crypto.com said that it received a Wells notice from the SEC, or a notice that the agency plans to take legal action over what it believes to be securities violations by the company.
“Our decision to sue the SEC follows our receipt of a Wells notice from the Commission staff,” the Crypto.com post reads, “illustrating that the SEC’s unauthorized and unjust regulation by enforcement campaign continues despite bipartisan indications that the next Administration will take a more constructive and effective approach to advancing crypto in the U.S.”
“For now, improper SEC enforcement actions are part of the process of operating a legitimate and licensed crypto business in the U.S.,” it continues. “While this is an unprecedented move for our company to file suit against a federal agency, actions by that agency towards our industry have left us no other choice.”
