Binance US will delist AMP following SEC claim token is a security
United States-based crypto exchange Binance.US said it will be delisting the AMP (OTC:AMLTF) token “out of an abundance of caution” of possible enforcement by federal regulators.
In a Monday blog post, Binance.US said it will be closing deposits of Amp (AMP) and removing the AMP/USD trading pair on Aug. 15 following the token’s mention in a legal action from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. The federal regulator filed a complaint against a former Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) product manager and two individuals in July that claimed that AMP and eight other cryptocurrencies were “crypto asset securities” that fell under the SEC’s purview.
