🚨SEC's Shocking Demand to Coinbase: Halt All Cryptocurrencies Except Bitcoin!🚨

🚫 The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) asked Coinbase to halt trading in all cryptocurrencies except bitcoin before suing the exchange.

📈 The SEC's case identified 13 lightly traded cryptocurrencies on Coinbase's platform as securities, indicating the regulator's push for wider authority over the crypto industry.

💼 Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong stated that if they had agreed to delist all assets except bitcoin, it would have meant the end of the crypto industry in the US, leading them to go to court to challenge the SEC's interpretation.

🔒 Oversight of the crypto industry has been a grey area, with the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) vying for control, but the SEC's recommendation to Coinbase indicates its intention to regulate the industry more strictly.

On Monday morning, the global #cryptocurrency market cap reached $1.18 trillion. #Bitcoin (BTC) and #Ethereum (ETH), two prominent cryptocurrencies, saw gains as their prices surpassed the $29,000 and $18,000 marks, respectively. 

However, other well-known altcoins such as #Litecoin (LTC) and #Dogecoin (DOGE) experienced minor losses, contributing to an overall downturn in prices.

The standout performer was #BitcoinSV (BSV), which saw an impressive 24-hour increase of over 8.57 percent. On the contrary, the biggest loser during this period was the #CurveDAO Token (CRV).
