This led to a significant drop in crypto markets, including a 9.1% decline for Coinbase. Palmer estimates that 37% of Coinbase's net revenue could be at risk if the SEC targets its token trading and staking operations.

Coin Security Responded That the SEC Complaint Aims To Unilaterally Define the Cryptocurrency Market Structure

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed a complaint against Binance, attempting to unilaterally define the structure of the crypto market.
