Lejilex, a Texas crypto mining firm, and Crypto Freedom Alliance of Texas (CFAT) sue the SEC, disputing its control over crypto, seeking non-securities classification.

In a legal battle against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Texas-based Lejilex and Crypto Freedom Alliance of Texas (CFAT) take action, challenging the SEC's authority in the crypto sector.

They argue the regulatory body lacks a clear legal mandate. Lejilex, set to launch Legit.Exchange, a crypto trading platform, plans to list tokens previously deemed securities in lawsuits against Coinbase and Binance.

Co-founder Mike Wawszczak regrets the legal route but disputes the SEC's classification of cryptocurrencies as securities, citing a lack of ongoing commitments akin to traditional securities.
