<p class="is-style-lead">According to reports, billionaire Mark Cuban recently noted that the ongoing attack on crypto tokens by SEC and the U.S. government would ultimately not work. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="cuban-sec-attacks-on-tokens-will-not-work">Cuban: SEC attacks on tokens will not work</h2>



<p>Mark Cuban responded to a crypto enthusiast, Rodrigo, who <a href="https://twitter.com/RSSH273/status/1658959197323825153?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">tweeted</a> that the SEC intends to regulate the crypto space using ”third parties&#8221; pronouncements without involving the project creators.</p>



<p>The user, Rodrigo, highlighted the example where the SEC claimed that FIL is security—the SEC sent a letter to Grayscale without offering Filecoin the chance to respond.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Rodrigo highlighted other past cases of Wahi, Bittrex, and others where the SEC alleged that some tokens are securities, even without involving the token providers.</p>

<p><a href="https://crypto.news/mark-cuban-to-be-questioned-in-us-on-promoting-voyager/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mark Cuban</a> insinuates that the SEC and government can do nothing once the tokens are in circulation and the creator decides to close down the entity. </p>



<p>Cuban believes that once that is done, the token achieves full decentralization. As such, there would be no way of actually restricting the token. </p>



<p>After sharing his sentiment, the <a href="https://crypto.news/gold-and-btc-are-both-stores-of-value-says-billionaire-mark-cuban/">billionaire</a> asked for thoughts on the subject from the community.  </p>



<p>The consensus was that the securities laws in the U.S. had been designed unfairly. One user suggested that projects need just to exclude the U.S.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="sec-s-complaint-against-filecoin">SEC’s complaint against Filecoin</h2>



<p>The Filecoin token issues with the SEC started when Grayscale made a registration statement with SEC. </p>

<p>However, on May 16, the SEC sent a <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2023/05/17/2671509/0/en/Grayscale-Investments-Shares-Update-Regarding-Grayscale-Filecoin-Trust-Registration-Statement-on-Form-10.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">letter</a> to Grayscale indicating that FIL, Grayscale trust&#8217;s asset is a security. Hence, SEC asked Grayscale to withdraw the registration statement. </p>



<p>The latest complaint was in response to a release on May 17, where Grayscale announced the ongoing issues with Filecoin in a press statement.</p>
