In a brand new official court docket submitting, the SEC acknowledges that FTX’s Chapter 11 compensation plan is probably not unlawful whereas sustaining that the regulatory company has the precise to problem any transactions involving crypto.
“The SEC just isn’t opining as to the legality, beneath the federal securities legal guidelines, of the transactions outlined within the Plan and reserves its rights to problem transactions involving crypto property.”

“The SEC is once more reserving the precise to say dollar-backed stablecoins are ‘crypto asset securities,’ regardless of dropping their enforcement in opposition to Paxos and shedding their MTD on BUSD in opposition to Binance in July
that is the peak of jurisdictional overreach
it’s fairly absurd if you concentrate on it. nobody, together with most different regulators and each events, thinks the SEC ought to have oversight of real ‘quantity keep flat’ applied sciences
the SEC doesn’t even make a case right here. they’re simply unwilling to let it go. it’s a bludgeon they need to maintain sharp, lest any reliable actors deign to wield these (boringly above-board) devices.”
