The SEC has been on a witch hunt against crypto firms for several weeks now. It staunchly defends its position to clean up the American crypto industry and promote its growth. However, many players in this industry do not see the regulator's actions in the same light.

Last Tuesday, the SEC, through its chairman, Gary Gensler, filed legal proceedings against the crypto platform Coinbase. The case could see its first twist as Coinbase claims to have evidence of potential bad faith on Gary Gensler's part in this matter.

“We don't need more digital currencies,” said Gary Gensler on CNBC. Is this why the SEC is targeting both Binance and Coinbase, which have hundreds of millions of crypto investors? In any case, the heads of these exchanges declare that they will respond to the SEC's attacks.

In a context of increasing tension between financial regulators and crypto platforms, the announcement of a new lawsuit by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against Binance has stirred up a storm. The SEC accuses Binance of artificially inflating its transaction volumes and violating several rules, particularly regarding access for US users to its platform. However, a detail has caught the attention of some observers: the unexpected absence of Ripple's XRP from the list of cryptocurrencies that the SEC now considers securities. While XRP has been under attack by the SEC for the past two years, this absence raises numerous questions. Why is XRP missing from this list? Is it a deliberate strategy on the part of the SEC? What could be the repercussions of this decision?

What does the SEC really want by shaking up Binance? The collapse of the crypto industry or its regulation? Many see Gary Gensler and his team's recent initiatives as developing a visceral hatred towards the cryptosphere. In addition to targeting the world's largest exchange, they have also decided to go after 10 tokens traded on the secondary market, such as Cardano's ADA.
