Web3 is going just great [English] - Kraken sued by U.S. SEC
- 21 novembre -
Kraken is the latest cryptocurrency exchange to face a lawsuit from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. According to the SEC, Kraken violated securities laws by listing tokens like Polygon (MATIC) and Solana (SOL), which the SEC has argued in this and in other lawsuits are unregistered securities.
Furthermore, the SEC claims that Kraken commingled corporate and customer funds, "at times pa[ying] operational expenses directly from bank accounts that hold customer cash."
Kraken's new CEO, Dave Ripley, posted on Twitter that the company "plan[s] to vigorously defend [their] position" that they do not list securities.
