The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has filed a lawsuit against crypto firm Unicoin and three executives, alleging a $100 million securities fraud. The SEC claims Unicoin misled investors by falsely asserting its tokens were backed by real estate holdings that either didn’t exist or were grossly overvalued.

Defendants include CEO Alexander Konanykhin and former board chair Maria Moschini. Between September 2023 and January 2024, the company allegedly announced fictitious property acquisitions in Argentina to bolster investor confidence. The case highlights ongoing regulatory scrutiny of crypto projects making unsubstantiated asset-backed claims.
