Enforcement Actions
United States
- SEC Sues Binance, Binance.US, and Founder Changpeng Zhao
On June 5, the SEC filed a 13-claim complaint against Binance, Binance.US, and Binance founder Changpeng Zhao in D.C. federal court, alleging they engaged in unregistered offers and sales of crypto asset securities, including the Binance branded, fiat-backed stablecoin BUSD. The SEC claims Binance and Binance.US were acting as an exchange, broker-dealer, and clearing agency, and intentionally chose not to register with the SEC. Binance and Binance.US dispute these allegations. The SEC subsequently filed a motion for a TRO, seeking to freeze Binance.US’s assets. On June 13, after a hearing, Judge Amy Berman Jackson ordered the parties to mediation to attempt to negotiate a resolution to the SEC’s requested TRO. On June 19, the parties submitted and Judge Jackson signed a consent order. Complaint; Law360; Law360 2; Law360 3; Rolling Stone; Order. - SEC Sues Coinbase
On June 6, the SEC filed a 5-count complaint against Coinbase and its parent company Coinbase Global in the Southern District of New York. The SEC alleges that Coinbase violated securities laws since 2019 by failing to register as an exchange, broker, or clearing agency despite facilitating trading and settlement of several digital assets that the SEC alleges are securities, including ADA, SOL, MATIC, and others. The SEC also alleges that Coinbase has operated as an unregistered broker by offering its Coinbase Prime and Coinbase Wallet services, and that Coinbase’s staking service for several digital assets, including Ethereum, constitutes unregistered securities offerings. On June 28, Coinbase filed a 177-page answer to the SEC’s complaint, calling the suit an “extraordinary abuse of process” that “offends due process and the constitutional separation of powers.” In a separate letter to the Court, Coinbase said that it intended to file a motion for judgment on the pleadings on the ground that the SEC lacks jurisdiction over the subject matter of the suit because the tokens at issue are not securities. Complaint; CoinDesk; CoinDesk 2; Rolling Stone. - Crypto Exchange Bittrex Moves to Dismiss SEC Enforcement Action
On June 30, crypto exchange Bittrex moved to dismiss an SEC enforcement action alleging that the exchange operated as an unregistered securities exchange, broker, and clearing agency. Echoing arguments made by others in the industry, Bittrex argues that the major questions doctrine bars the SEC’s efforts to regulate tokens as securities, that secondary market transactions in tokens do not involve “investment contracts,” and that the SEC’s lawsuit deprives Bittrex of constitutionally required fair notice. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. CoinTelegraph; Motion. - Judge Severs Bankman-Fried Criminal Charges, Declines to Dismiss Them
On May 8, FTX’s founder and former CEO filed motions to dismiss most of the criminal charges against him, marking Bankman-Fried’s first detailed defense in his U.S. federal criminal case. Among other things, Bankman-Fried argued that under the U.S.-Bahamas extradition treaty the Bahamas needs to “consent” to the additional charges brought after the extradition. On May 30, prosecutors responded to these motions. Among other things, the government argued it has sought the consent of the Bahamian government to proceed with the charges brought post-extradition and will drop those charges if the Bahamas does not consent. On June 15, District Judge Lewis Kaplan severed the post-extradition charges against Bankman-Fried and ordered a second trial on those charges in March 2024. On June 30, Judge Kaplan denied Bankman-Fried’s motions to dismiss.

On June 14, global cryptocurrency exchange CoinEx agreed to settle charges that it had failed to register as a broker-dealer with the New York Attorney General for $1.8 million. The company also terminated its U.S. users’ accounts and blocked them from creating new accounts. Law360; Stipulation. - Wahi Brothers Settle Insider Trading Charges with the SEC
On May 30, the SEC settled charges with a former Coinbase product manager, Ishan Wahi, and his brother Nikhil. The two were arrested last year on charges of wire fraud conspiracy and “wire fraud in connection with a scheme to commit insider trading.” Both brothers pleaded guilty. Ishan Wahi was sentenced to 24 months in prison and ordered to forfeit 10.97 ether and 9,440 Tether, and Nikhil was sentenced to 10 months in prison and ordered to forfeit $892,500—with more than half as restitution to Coinbase as a victim of the Wahi defendants’ misconduct. The court has since held the restitution order in abeyance while the brothers contest the amount of attorneys’ fees awarded to Coinbase. On June 29, Coinbase asked the court to again grant its restitution request. The SEC announced that because of the brother’s prison sentences, it will not seek any other penalties. The settlement puts an end to the case brought by the SEC which was set to answer the question of whether cryptocurrencies at the heart of the case were indeed securities, as the SEC has argued and Coinbase, as amicus, forcefully disputed. SEC; CoinDesk; Law360. - Judge Torres Denies SEC’s Motion to Seal Hinman Documents
On May 16, United States District Judge Analisa Torres denied the SEC’s motion to seal records of its internal deliberations regarding a speech by former director William Hinman. In the June 2018 speech, the former SEC corporation finance director stated that ether is not a security. The SEC filed the motion on December 22, 2022 to seal the internal emails, text messages, and expert reports that followed Hinman’s speech. Judge Torres found that these documents “are not protected by the deliberative process privilege because they do not relate to an agency position, decision or policy.” Ripple has considered the speech a key piece of evidence in its ongoing legal battle with the SEC, which alleges that sales of Ripple’s XRP violated U.S. securities laws. Order; CoinTelegraph. - Gemini Moves to Dismiss SEC Suit
On May 29, Gemini filed a motion to dismiss the SEC’s lawsuit claiming that the operation of Gemini’s now defunct crypto lending program, called Gemini Earn, was a sale of unregistered securities. Gemini argued that the contracts involved were “simple lending arrangements” and that the SEC case is complicating the process of returning funds to investors. Law360; CoinTelegraph. - Green United Executives Argue SEC Has No Authority Over Crypto
On May 19, Wright Thurston and Kristoffer Krohn filed motions to dismiss an SEC enforcement action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah. The SEC sued the defendants in March 2023, alleging that the defendants fraudulently offered securities by selling “Green Boxes” and “Green nodes” marketed as miners for the GREEN token on the “Green Blockchain.” The SEC claimed the hardware sold didn’t mine GREEN as it was an Ethereum-based ERC-20 token that could not be mined and the Green Blockchain didn’t exist. The defendants in their motions to dismiss argue, among other things, that the SEC has no authority over the digital asset ecosystem, claiming that Congress “considered and rejected” the SEC’s authority over crypto. They also argue that the SEC has been “unclear and inconsistent” in defining digital assets and criticize the agency’s regulation-by-enforcement approach in the crypto space.

- Do Kwon Wins Bail Request, Upends Montenegrin Elections with Campaign Funding Claim, Is Sentenced to Four Months
On June 5, a Montenegro high court again approved $428,000 bail forDo Kwon subject to house arrest pending an extradition request from South Korea. Only days before a June 11 election in Montenegro, Do Kwon claimed in a letter from custody that “crypto friends” had provided campaign funding to a leading candidate, upending the election’s anticipated results. In March, Kwon, along with former Terraform Labs executive Han Chang-joon, was arrested in Montenegro for allegedly attempting to travel with falsified documents. South Korean authorities had been searching for Kwon since Terraform Labs collapsed in May last year. The two South Korean nationals were back in court on June 16 for a hearing in which Kwon’s lawyers said their client denied having funded the leading candidate’s campaign. Kwon and Han were subsequently sentenced to four months for falsifying official documents. Since his arrest, both South Korea and the U.S. have requested Kwon’s extradition to face criminal charges following his trial in Montenegro.

Law360. - Prometheum Congressional Testimony Attracts Industry Criticism
On June 13, Aaron Kaplan, the founder and co-CEO of crypto exchange Prometheum, testified before the House Financial Services Committee that the SEC has laid out a compliant path for crypto in the United States. Prometheum recently received a first-of-its-kind FINRA approval to operate as a special purpose broker-dealer for digital assets in anticipation of listing digital assets for trading. Kaplan’s remarks provoked some controversy across the industry and on Twitter, with certain competitors criticizing the company and Kaplan’s remarks. The Blockchain Association submitted FOIA requests for more information about the company. Hearing; CoinTelegraph 1; CoinTelegraph 2. - CFTC Warns Clearing Agencies to Monitor Crypto Risks
On May 30, the CFTC’s Division of Clearing and Risk issued a staff advisory warning clearing agencies that provide services for crypto products that they must contain risks associated with digital assets through mitigation strategies, or they will face the agency’s scrutiny. The advisory also notes that, given increased cybersecurity risks and other perceived dangers involving digital assets, the CFTC’s division will emphasize compliance regarding its “core principles” of system safeguards, conflicts of interest, and physical delivery.” Law360. - Proposed Tax on Crypto Mining Removed from Spending Bill
On May 28, in the lead up to legislation to raise the U.S. debt ceiling, lawmakers released a draft bill that did not include the previously proposed Digital Assets Mining Energy (DAME) 30% excise tax on electricity used by crypto miners. The tax would have increased by 10% each year over three years on electricity generated starting in 2024. CoinTelegraph. - Filecoin Sponsor Receives SEC Comment Letter
On May 17, Grayscale announced that it received a comment letter from the SEC asking it to withdraw the registration of a trust investing in Filecoin, because the SEC believes Filecoin meets the definition of a security. On May 31, crypto trading firm Cumberland announced that it would halt over-the-counter trading in the token used by the decentralized storage platform Filecoin, citing regulatory environment concerns. GlobeNewswire; The Block. - Federal Bank Regulatory Agencies Release Interagency Guidance on Third-Party Risk Management
On June 6, the Federal Reserve, FDIC and OCC released final interagency guidance designed to aid banking organizations in managing risks associated with third-party relationships, including those with FinTechs and companies in the digital assets space. The interagency guidance replaces prior guidance of the agencies and details risk management strategies at various stages of third-party relationships, such as planning, due diligence, contract negotiation, ongoing monitoring, and termination. The agencies underscore that the interagency guidance does not have the force and effect of law and does not impose any new requirements on banking organizations. Nonetheless, third-party risk management will remain an area of heightened focus and scrutiny by supervisors and examiners, particularly with respect to third parties that are: FinTechs; digital assets providers; critical to bank operations or organizational business continuity and resiliency; customer-facing; subject to heightened consumer compliance and other prudential requirements; or represent concentration risk. As such, FinTechs and other companies and service providers that partner with banks to deliver regulated financial services should expect potential additional scrutiny from both their bank partners and their bank partners’ regulators.

On June 15, the FDIC issued advisory letters demanding three companies cease and desist from making false and misleading statements about FDIC deposit insurance. The advisory letters highlight the FDIC’s continuing efforts to review companies’ public statements, disclosures and other marketing materials for compliance with Section 18(a)(4) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. § 1828(a)(4)) and the FDIC’s 2022 final rule regarding advertising or other representations about FDIC deposit insurance (12 C.F.R. Part 328, Subpart B). To ensure compliance, banks and bank partners should, at a minimum, ensure subject materials: (a) clearly disclose that the nonbank company offering the service is not an insured bank; (b) identify the insured bank(s) where any customer funds may be held on deposit; (c) communicate that FDIC deposit insurance is not available in the event of the bankruptcy of the nonbank company and is only available should the FDIC-insured bank at which deposits are properly held fail; and (d) communicate that non-deposit products are not FDIC-insured products and may lose value.

On May 25, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), EU’s securities regulator, issued a public statement highlighting the risks arising from the provision of unregulated products and/or services by investment firms in the EU.

MAS will also restrict DPT service providers from facilitating lending and staking of DPT tokens by their retail customers. These measures were introduced following an October 2022 public consultation on regulatory measures to enhance investor protection and market integrity in DPT services. Among other things, the MAS also issued a new consultation paper proposing requirements for DPT service providers to address unfair trading practices.
