It isn't yet practical for the SEC to regulate crypto formally because the industry is still in its early stages and evolving rapidly. The SEC needs to balance many interests, and it's not clear what the costs and benefits will be.
Translation: I'm not allowed to officially say that all of this stuff is illegal, but... you should ask if it's legal.
