Could you elaborate on how the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approaches the regulation of bitcoins? Given the decentralized and digital nature of cryptocurrencies, I'm curious to know if the SEC has established specific guidelines or frameworks for overseeing Bitcoin transactions and exchanges. Does it consider bitcoins as securities or commodities? Are there any particular laws or rules that apply specifically to bitcoin-related activities? I'm also interested in knowing how the SEC monitors potential risks associated with bitcoin investments and what measures it takes to protect investors in this space.

However, even with the assistance of exchanges, seizing or freezing illicit proceeds held in bitcoins can be challenging.

Without a centralized entity collecting Bitcoin user data, the SEC must rely on alternative sources for such information.

One of these sources is Bitcoin exchanges, which act as intermediaries between buyers and sellers.
