Recently, rumors emerged that Paxos Trust, a regulated company that created the Binance USD (BUSD) stablecoin, received a notification from the US SEC that it is about to receive a lawsuit. The notice, known as Wells Notice, grants the receiver a 30-day period to build up a case and respond to the regulator with an explanation that would explain why the lawsuit should be dropped.<\/p>\n
\nThe SEC has labelled BUSD as an “unregistered security”, and is suing its issuer, Paxos. <\/p>\n
But how on earth is a STABLECOIN considered a security, when it clearly doesn’t meet the Howey Test criteria. <\/p>\n
No one has ever had “the expectation of profit” when buying $BUSD<\/a>. pic.twitter.com\/QXOlDUyvc3<\/a><\/p>\n
