Crypto.com is a popular cryptocurrency exchange offering a wide range of services, including crypto trading, staking, and a crypto-backed Visa card for spending digital assets. Known for its user-friendly app and strong security measures, the platform supports over 250 cryptocurrencies. It also provides DeFi solutions and NFT trading, making it a comprehensive platform for both beginners and advanced users.
Recently, Crypto.com exchange received a Wells notice from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), a financial regulator mainly known for its crypto-hater stance in the crypto space.
In response, CryptoCom leadership decided to take action against the SEC body. Through a new lawsuit, the CryptoCom legal representatives raised questions over the crypto market regulatory approach of the SEC, claiming they never provided clear rules and laws but instead took enforcement actions against crypto companies.
Kris, the CEO of CryptoCom exchange, stated that the lawsuit aims to protect the future of the crypto sector and bring clarity on crypto-related regulations.Fox Business reporter Eleanor Terrett noted that CryptoCom’s leadership followed a similar approach taken by Ethereum blockchain firm Consensys.
