Crypto.com Files Lawsuit Against SEC After Receiving A Wells Notice

Published by

Crypto.com filed a lawsuit against the SEC on October 8. This action has been taken in response to the SEC sending a Wells Notice to the crypto exchange. This notice from the commission serves as a heads up that they are planning big action against the exchange. But Crypto.com isn’t just rolling over—they’re standing up for the entire crypto industry in the U.S.

For months, it’s felt like the SEC has been tightening its grip on crypto, and not in a good way. Crypto.com says the agency is way out of line, trying to control too much without proper authority. And they’re not alone—many other major crypto companies feel the same. Filing this lawsuit is their way of saying, “We’re not going to let you mess with the future of crypto.”

Unfair View of SEC

Here’s where it gets tricky. The SEC has claimed multiple times since 2019 that except for Bitcoin, every other crypto is a security. Later they excluded Ethereum from the list as well but all other cryptos remain. The commission has been going behind multiple cryptocurrencies and crypto projects classifying them as securities. One major case we all are following is the SEC vs Ripple case.

Crypto.com calls this out as straight-up unfair. They argue that other cryptos are traded the same way as BTC and ETH, so why the double standard?

Even worse, the SEC didn’t follow the rules when making this decision. According to Crypto.com, they didn’t get public feedback or go through the legal process that’s required. That’s a big no-no in the regulatory world, and it’s part of what this lawsuit is challenging.

So, What Happens Now?

Crypto.com isn’t just sitting back and waiting for the lawsuit to play out. They’ve also filed a petition with the CFTC and the SEC to get some clarity on how crypto derivatives should be regulated. Right now, it’s kind of a mess. They’re asking, “Who’s really in charge here?” and hoping to settle the debate.

Despite all this legal drama, Crypto.com is still running business as usual. They’re proud of their 40+ state licenses and their solid standing with the CFTC. They believe their strong regulatory track record will help them win this fight, not just for themselves but for the whole crypto industry in the U.S.

In the meantime, they’re staying focused on their big goal: putting crypto in every wallet. Yeah, this fight is serious, but Crypto.com isn’t backing down anytime soon.
