“# SEC sees $5M victory in case against Kik <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission announced<\/a> the end of its lawsuit against Kik Interactive.<\/p>\n

The Canadian messenger app<\/a> fell afoul of the U.S. regulator for failing to treat its sale of KIN tokens as a securities offering. A district judge\u00a0confirmed the SEC’s view\u00a0at the end of September, but only today did the court see the final judgment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As a result of today’s judgment, Kik will need to pay the SEC $5 million in penalties and keep the commission posted as to any capital raises for the next three years. Given that Kik was a firm in financial dire straits before its initial coin offering (ICO) for KIN, it’s an open question as to whether it will survive.<\/p>\n

Alongside the SEC’s victory over Telegram in a similar ruling, many commentators have seen recent court decisions as putting an end to\u00a0end to Simple Agreement for Future Token\u00a0contracts that were the legal framework for a number of the largest ICOs of recent years.\u00a0\n<\/p><\/div>\n
