CoinEx and New York: a Bitter RelationShip
Earlier this week, regulators barred CoinEx from operating in New York and seized over $1 Million worth of cryptocurrencies. As per the data, CoinEx failed to register as a securities and commodities brokerage.
This is not the first time that the exchange has been in trouble. Earlier in February, authorities accused CoinEx of claiming to be an exchange but failed to register with the regional authorities.
From the seized amount, $1.1 Million will be returned to investors who invested using the platform. The authorities will hold the remaining amount as penalties for violating the laws of New York.
CoinEx is instructed to implement geo-blocking to bar access by New York IP addresses. The exchange is also instructed to restrict the creation of new trading accounts for users in the United States.
Earlier this month, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a lawsuit against Coinbase for selling unregistered securities.
Following the lawsuit, SEC labeled over 50 crypto tokens and coins as securities, including Solana, Cardano, among others. When Coinbase was sued by the agency, the market slipped by over 5%, and the leader of all cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin, fell more than 4% in 48 hours of the trading session.
At press time, Bitcoin was trading at $29,590 with a 24-hour trading volume of $32 Billion. Earlier, BTC was ranked first in terms of trading volume, but recently Tether passed BTC and acquired the first position and became the most traded token intraday.
