May 24, 2024, 09:31 AM
A Texas federal court has ruled in favor of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in its case against crypto influencer and YouTuber Ian Balina. Balina was found to have violated U.S. securities laws by selling and offering to sell the SPRK token, which was deemed an unregistered security. The case pertains to Balina's promotion of an unregistered cryptocurrency initial coin offering (ICO) in 2018. The court's decision marks a significant victory for the SEC in its ongoing efforts to regulate the cryptocurrency market and enforce securities laws. Balina sold unregistered securities to American users by offering them in an investment pool.
