SEC Unleashes a Crypto Hurricane

This is all over the cryptosphere - and is not just about Binance.

SEC Sues Binance and CZ Over 'Blatant Disregard' of Its Rules

The SEC lawsuit = doc

This case arises from Defendants’ blatant disregard of the federal securities laws and the investor and market protections these laws provide. In so doing, Defendants have enriched themselves by billions of U.S. dollars while placing investors’ assets at significant risk.

Press release = SEC Files 13 Charges Against Binance Entities and Founder Changpeng Zhao

This is on top of the CFTC lawsuit in March 2023.

CFTC Charges Binance and Its Founder, Changpeng Zhao, with Willful Evasion of Federal Law and Operating an Illegal Digital Asset Derivatives Exchange

An insight:

FTX was controlled demolition to facilitate further violence.

But Binance is not the only target. The SEC is playing its usual game of veiled accusations stated implicitly within a lawsuit without a separate lawsuit where such coins can defend themselves.

Why the US is waging war on Binance, Coinbase

Letter from the Editor

The SEC’s action on June 5 will go down as the crypto industry’s “Black Monday.” The regulator’s carpet bombing-style legal offensive wiped out US$320 million within 24 hours as crypto liquidations accelerated.

Meanwhile, I’m in Hong Kong this week, half a world away, a city whose securities regulator has just launched new virtual asset service provider regulations. And for the retail market, it has released virtual asset trading platform rules, outlining a process that onboards crypto to trading platforms for accredited and non-accredited investors alike. Amid the SEC’s onslaught, such developments are leaving Americans in the dust. Freedom indeed.

That reads "we are fine", and not "we are fined".

lame answer - the reason is to destroy the current industrialised countries and scare them back into the middle ages. Then the so-called developing countries, with a more traditionally compliant populace, can rise up and thus spread their message of obedience or coercion.

I'm not sure why he spilled the truth.
Maybe he thinks the majority will nod to their dumbphones and be scared about yet another shibboleth - at least in the USA.
And those who have been saying this for some years... will be forgotten - as when "conspiracy theories" become true, those insights are still ignored.

SEC Complaint Aims to Unilaterally Define Crypto Market Structure

official Binance response.

It seems based on these developments that the SEC’s goal here was never to protect investors; [...] The SEC’s real intent here, instead, appears to be to make headlines.

More likely, this is payback for not falling for the SBF scamster!

interesting, in places, much more is fairly obvious.
this could take years... like the Ripple case.

Notice it doesn't claim that investors have actually lost any money.
Investors deserve to be protected at all costs - just for their own protection.

Coinbase Was Dismissed by the US SEC After Months of Figuring Out How To Register, Chief Legal Officer Says

This is going round in circles - possibly by design. The sticking point is that the tokens listed must be securities.

The SEC Has Started an All-In Political Battle Over Crypto

The Securities and Exchange Commission’s lawsuits against Binance and Coinbase this week have set up a high-stakes battle that will engage all three branches of the U.S. government in a competition for power, determine whether the crypto industry will decamp the U.S. for good, and define the future of digital money.

Ripple case alone now up to 2.5 years and counting.

Will Gary the Goose loose any feathers over this?
