A coalition of 18 U.S. states has filed a lawsuit against the SEC, accusing it of overstepping its constitutional authority in regulating the cryptocurrency sector.

Background of the Lawsuit

The lawsuit was jointly filed in a Kentucky district court alongside 17 other Republican attorneys general. The coalition argues that under Chair Gary Gensler, the SEC disrupts state regulatory frameworks and stifles innovation in the digital asset market.

> "At bottom, the SEC's regulatory overreach defies basic principles of federalism and separation of powers, depriving states of their proper sovereign role," the filing read.

Suppressing Progress

The coalition argues that the SEC's actions pose risks to economic progress by imposing penalties without a clear regulatory framework. Gensler's broad interpretation of securities law forces companies to comply with stringent requirements unsuitable for digital assets.

Impact on the Industry

If the coalition succeeds, the case might redefine the power balance between state and federal authorities in digital asset oversight. Attorneys general assert that the SEC's interference disrupts states' ability to enforce their regulations.

> "Still worse, by attempting to shoehorn digital assets into unfitting federal securities laws, the SEC harms the very citizens it purports to protect," the suit states.
