Securities litigation refers to legal disputes arising from the issuance, sale, or trading of securities. These lawsuits typically involve allegations of fraud, misrepresentation, or non-compliance with securities laws. In the digital asset space, it often concerns whether a cryptocurrency or token should be classified as a security, subjecting it to specific regulations. Such cases have significant implications for project developers and investors alike.
