On July 29, the day prior to the notice’s publication, the SEC put out a notice saying that it intended to award blockchain analytics firm CipherTrace a contract to help it track the flow of funds on blockchains.
In its notice, it said that CipherTrace’s products are “the only known blockchain forensics and risk intelligence tool that can support the Binance coin (BNB) and all tokens on the Binance network.”
The SEC said that the government would “give consideration to interested parties” if they put their submissions in by “the response date of the notice,” which was...a day later, July 30.
