SEC Subpoena Bittrex For Violating Law
A recent rumour claims that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) sent Bittrex a Wells notice in March, indicating the possibility of legal action. Before Bittrex made the decision to cease operations in the US, the SEC’s enforcement division sent the Wells notice.
A Wells notice with information about a possible litigation and enforcement action was delivered to the cryptocurrency exchange Bittrex on April 16. In essence, a Wells notice is a letter from the U.S. SEC informing a person or business that the regulator intends to initiate enforcement action against them. The notification gives the receiver a time to reply, and it frequently does not lead to legal action. At the start of April, Bittrex informed the public that it “made the difficult decision to wind down U.S. operations, effective April 30, 2023.”
