The office of New York Attorney General (NYAG) Letitia James announced Wednesday that the attorney general has sued cryptocurrency trading platform Coinex for failing to register as a securities and commodities broker-dealer and for falsely representing itself as a crypto exchange.

The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) was able to buy and sell cryptocurrencies on Coinex in New York, although the company is unregistered in the state, which is a violation of New York’s Martin Act.

The OAG explained that it created an account with Coinex using a computer with a New York-based IP address to buy and sell cryptocurrencies, which Coinex charged a fee for. The state’s Martin Act gives the attorney general broad law-enforcement powers to conduct investigations of suspected fraud in the offer, sale, or purchase of securities.

The Attorney General’s Office further alleged that Coinex offers to trade crypto tokens that are securities and commodities, naming AMP, LUNA, LBC, and RLY in particular. “New York law requires securities and commodities brokers to register with the state, which Coinex failed to do.

The NY Attorney General’s Office also stated that “Coinex claimed to be an exchange, but is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a national securities exchange or appropriately designated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) as is required under New York law.”

Furthermore, “Coinex also failed to comply with a subpoena issued by OAG to provide more information about its digital asset trading activities in the state,” the Attorney General’s Office noted.

Through her lawsuit, Attorney General James seeks a court order that stops Coinex from misrepresenting that it is an exchange, prevents the company from operating in New York, and directs Coinex to implement geo-blocking based on IP addresses and GPS location to prevent access to Coinex’s mobile app, website, and services from New York.

Given the recent lawsuit against Coinex for allegedly operating an unregistered cryptocurrency exchange, we are paying high attention to the allegations and taking active steps to address New York Attorney’s concerns promptly.

James has taken action against several crypto firms in the past. Last month, she and a multistate coalition recovered $24 million from Nexo. In January, she sued former Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky for defrauding investors and concealing the company’s dire financial c

In June 2022, she reached a settlement of nearly $1 million with crypto lender Blockfi for offering unregistered securities. In October 2021, she directed unregistered crypto lending platforms to cease operations for not fulfilling their legal obligations. In September 2021, she shut down crypto trading platform coinseed. In November last year, she urged Congress to ban crypto in retirements account.
