 <p>Paradigm has recently been vocal about the United States government’s stance on crypto regulations.</p>
 <p>On July 11, a report by crypto.news highlighted that the investment firm accused the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of overreaching its legal boundaries in its approach to regulating cryptocurrencies.</p>
 <p>Paradigm articulated its position in an amicus brief submitted as part of the ongoing lawsuit between the SEC and crypto exchange Bittrex. “In this and other instances, the SEC has acted beyond its statutory authority,” the firm asserted.</p>
