Legal Battle Between US States and SEC Over Crypto Regulations

A lawsuit has been filed by 18 US states against the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Chairman Gary Gensler, alleging excessive government interference in the emerging crypto industry. States like Nebraska, Tennessee, and Wyoming are among the plaintiffs. The legal action highlights the significant financial burden faced by crypto firms due to the SEC's regulatory actions, costing them $426 million since 2021.
