SEC considers FIL to be a security
Bitmain has a large customer base in the U.S., but it was revealed in May that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) considers Filecoin to be a security.
Under these circumstances, Bitmain dared to launch a new mining machine for Filecoin.
Filecoin is a blockchain launched in 2014. It is a decentralized storage network that is used for payment of storage usage fees, blockchain rewards, and governance.
The SEC decision was made public by cryptocurrency management company Grayscale. According to Grayscale, when the company had applied for registration of a Filecoin investment trust, the SEC requested that the application be withdrawn because Filecoin is a securities.

Filecoin Foundation Rebuttal
The Filecoin Foundation disputes the SEC’s position. Filecoin’s blockchain network is a “decentralized peer-to-peer network for storing files,” he said, noting that FIL tokens are not securities.
Further, emphasizing dispersion, he continues:
Over the past decade or so, thousands of people around the world have contributed to the Filecoin open source project, building a decentralized, efficient and robust foundation.
Contributors include hundreds of organizations and teams building on the network, thousands of storage providers, and nearly 13,000 Github contributors.
In addition, the SEC has filed a lawsuit regarding Ripple’s virtual currency XRP as an unregistered security.
In this case, a U.S. District Court judge ruled in favor of Ripple on the 13th, stating that “XRP itself is not a security.”
