The lawsuits filed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against Binance and Coinbase have increased tension between crypto companies and financial regulatory institutions. The SEC’s classification of several cryptocurrencies, including Cardano (ADA), Binance Coin (BNB), Solana (SOL), Polygon (MATIC), and Filecoin (FIL), as securities has led to strong reactions from many figures in the crypto ecosystem towards the SEC.
