This is the most recent in a series of enforcement actions that US regulators have taken to combat misconduct in the crypto industry, nytimes.com reported.

The SEC said that Nexo had allowed customers in the US to transfer their Bitcoin deposits and earn interest on it in 2020. It said that Nexo had violated registration requirements and that the interest programme met the criteria of crypto being treated as a security.

Nexo reached a settlement without confessing to any wrongdoing. A $22.5 million punishment to the SEC and an extra $22.5 million to resolve complaints from state authorities were agreed upon by the corporation.

“We charged Nexo with failing to register its retail crypto lending product before offering it to the public, bypassing essential disclosure requirements designed to protect investors. Compliance with our time-tested public policies isn’t a choice,” SEC chair Gary Gensler said in a statement.
