Do crypto assets comply with SEC regulations?
Good day, could you please clarify if cryptocurrency assets adhere to the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) regulatory framework? Specifically, I'm interested in understanding how SEC guidelines and standards are being applied to crypto tokens and whether they must fulfill the same legal requirements as traditional securities? Moreover, is there a consistent approach taken by the SEC towards regulating cryptocurrencies, or does it vary depending on the asset's specific characteristics and usage? Lastly, how does the SEC ensure that crypto-related activities protect investors' interests and prevent market manipulation? Thank you for your insights.
