These requirements include registration with the SEC, issuer credentials, and a secondary license.<\/p>\n<p>In light of these findings, the SEC emphasizes the importance of thorough due diligence. Engaging with unregistered platforms, like Binance, poses risks, and individuals promoting these platforms may face severe legal consequences.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, sports sensation Cristiano Ronaldo is being sued for promoting the swap.
