Circle squashes rumors of planned SEC enforcement action By Cointelegraph

(USDC) issuer Circle has denied rumors that it received a “Wells Notice” over its United States dollar-pegged stablecoin.

On Feb. 14, a now-deleted tweet from Fox Business reporter Eleanor Terrett claimed Circle had been ordered by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to cease the sale of USDC — due to the stablecoin being an unregistered security.
