Consensys, in a 34-page legal document released on April 25, expressed concerns that the SEC&#8217;s enforcement actions could undermine Congress&#8217;s efforts in establishing stablecoin policy and impede technological progress beyond U.S. borders. The company labeled the SEC&#8217;s regulatory actions as &#8220;aggressive overreach&#8221; that extends beyond domestic capital markets and contradicts the watchdog&#8217;s original mandate.<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit filed by Consensys is a response to a Wells Notice issued by the SEC earlier in the month, which indicated potential allegations against MetaMask for operating as an unregistered broker-dealer. Moreover, the industry is rallying to challenge a probe into the Ethereum Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the ETH ecosystem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The blockchain developer believes that the SEC&#8217;s classification of ETH as a security is wrong and has criticized the regulatory body&#8217;s approach as &#8220;reckless.&#8221; They [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1361,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[426],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1362","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blockchain-and-cryptocurrency-regulations"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cryptogoldex.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1362","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cryptogoldex.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cryptogoldex.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cryptogoldex.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cryptogoldex.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1362"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cryptogoldex.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1362\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cryptogoldex.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1361"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cryptogoldex.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1362"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cryptogoldex.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1362"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cryptogoldex.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1362"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
