US financial watchdog the SEC continues to crack down on the crypto sector, accusing exchange Coinbase of breaching securities laws just a day after suing its rival Binance.
In a filing with a federal court in New York, the SEC sued the exchange for breaching securities laws. It said Coinbase - the biggest crypto exchange in the US - has taken on the role of a broker, exchange and clearing house, despite failing to register for permission for any of these roles.
