18 U.S. States Sue SEC Over Alleged Overreach

A coalition of 18 U.S. states, led by Kentucky, has filed a lawsuit against the SEC, accusing the agency of exceeding its constitutional authority in regulating cryptocurrencies. The Republican attorneys general from states such as Texas, Florida, and Ohio argue that SEC Chair Gary Gensler's approach undermines state regulatory powers and hinders innovation.

The U.S. Department of Justice has launched an investigation into Polymarket, a crypto-based prediction platform, for potential regulatory breaches.
