Trading app eToro recently reached a settlement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
The SEC announced Thursday that eToro “agreed to pay $1.5 million to settle charges that it operated an unregistered broker and unregistered clearing agency in connection with its trading platform that facilitated buying and selling certain crypto assets as securities.”
But eToro also agreed to halt trading for any cryptos except for Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Ether.
“By removing tokens offered as investment contracts from its platform, eToro has chosen to come into compliance and operate within our established regulatory framework,” said Gurbir S. Grewal, Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement.
The settlement may provide more insight into the SEC’s thinking about cryptocurrencies. It reinforces a view of Ether as a commodity rather than a security, a key question about cryptos in the US policy regulation of cryptocurrencies.
