  The SEC can charge a cryptocurrency exchange for operating without registration due to the legal requirement for exchanges to register with the SEC. This registration ensures that exchanges comply with regulations and provide necessary investor protection. Failure to register can result in penalties and legal action by the SEC. It is important for exchanges to understand and comply with the regulatory framework to avoid such charges.
