New York's attorney general on Thursday sued KuCoin for failing to register with the state before letting investors buy and sell cryptocurrencies on its platform, as part of her effort to rein in what she calls "shadowy" cryptocurrency companies.

James said KuCoin lets investors trade popular virtual currencies such as ETH, LUNA and TerraUSD, and that her case is among the first by a regulator alleging that ETH is a security.
