Paxos Trust Co. has been warned by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that the SEC intends to sue the business for breaking investor protection rules. The SEC's continued effort to enforce regulations in the cryptocurrency industry is reflected in this action.
Wells Notice Issued to Paxos
Paxos has received a Wells notice from the SEC's enforcement team, which is a letter used to notify organisations and people of potential enforcement action. An unregistered security, according to the notice, is Binance USD, a digital asset created and listed by Paxos.
It is still unknown why the warning was sent out, and whether it had anything to do with the coin's issuance or listing. Companies that get Wells letters have the chance to write back and explain why the SEC shouldn't file a lawsuit.

A spokesman for Binance stated on Monday that BNB, the company's cryptocurrency, fell 5% after the New York Department of Financial Services ordered Paxos Trust to halt producing more of its BUSD token.
The news that circulating that the New York Department of Financial Services has been told to cease minting new BUSD tokens has created FUD in BNB community. The BUSD token was trading just below parity on Monday, according to Coinmarketcap.
BNB is down by roughly 6% on a daily scale and trades well beneath $300.
