The SEC has sued crypto trading firm Cumberland, accusing it of operating as an unregistered securities dealer in handling over $2 billion worth of cryptocurrencies.
The SEC alleges that Cumberland traded crypto assets like Polygon (POL), Solana (SOL), Cosmos (ATOM), Algorand (ALGO), and Filecoin (FIL) that are considered securities.
Cumberland denies the allegations and states that it has been in discussions with the SEC for years and remains confident in its compliance framework.
The SEC is seeking disgorgement, a permanent injunction, and civil penalties from Cumberland.
