The lawsuit was signed by 18 Republican state attorneys general, including Nebraska, Tennessee, West Virginia, Iowa, Texas, Mississippi, Montana, Arkansas, Ohio, Kansas, Missouri, Indiana, Utah, Louisiana, South Carolina, Oklahoma and Florida.

The lawsuit was written in collaboration with the DeFi Education Fund, a cryptocurrency advocacy group that advocates for sound decentralized finance policies.
