Could you elaborate on the current regulatory status of crypto assets with regards to registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)? Are there specific criteria that need to be met for a crypto asset to be considered a security and thus subject to SEC oversight? Are there any notable cases where crypto assets have been deemed securities by the SEC, and if so, what were the implications for those assets? Are there any ongoing discussions or proposed legislation that could potentially change the regulatory landscape for crypto assets and their registration status with the SEC?

Despite the growing popularity and market capitalization of crypto assets, no such entity has been registered with the SEC as a national securities exchange.
