The SEC firestorms also affected the Crypto.com exchange
 Digital currency exchange Crypto.com (Crypto.com) announced on Tuesday that it has filed a lawsuit against the entity after receiving a notice of legal action from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Crypto.com said it received a notice from the SEC indicating the agency's intention to take legal action against the company for violating securities laws. The exchange described the move as part of the SEC's unauthorized and unfair regulatory campaign, adding that it continues despite bipartisan signs that the next administration will take a more constructive approach to cryptocurrencies. Crypto.com called the move unprecedented for its company, but stressed that the SEC's actions against the cryptocurrency industry left it with no choice.
