The agency alleged the tokens on its platform are unregistered securities, OpenSea Chief Executive Officer Devin Finzer said in a post on X on Wednesday. The SEC does not comment on the existence or nonexistence of a possible investigation, an agency spokesperson said.

The notice would represent the latest in a string of enforcement actions brought by the SEC against the crypto industry in recent years. Companies including Kraken, Coinbase, Consensys and Uniswap have all been targets of such notices or lawsuits in the past, with some still engaged in legal proceedings.

The SEC earlier charged Impact Theory LLC, a media and entertainment company headquartered in Los Angeles, with offering unregistered securities in the form of NFTs in August last year.
