US SEC Sues Binance, Fails To Mention Ripple (XRP) As Security

In a shock move that has forced the cryptocurrency markets lower, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on June 5 sued Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, accusing them of 13 charges, one of which is allegedly enabling the trading of unregistered securities. Top of the list, the regulator said, was that Binance allegedly allowed the trading of several crypto assets, including BNB, the platform’s native currency; Cardano’s ADA; and MATIC, the token priming the Polygon ecosystem.
