Bittrex asks court to void SEC settlement, seeks $24M fine refund

Bankrupt crypto exchange Bittrex has petitioned a court to void its 2023 settlement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Decrypt reported. The exchange paid a $24 million fine last year to resolve charges of operating as an unregistered exchange. Bittrex is now asking the court to nullify the agreement and order a refund of the fine, arguing that the SEC's stance on cryptocurrencies has since become more favorable.
