The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has dropped its cases against cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, NFT platform OpenSea, and halted the case against Binance, signaling a shift in the agency's approach towards regulation. However, the SEC still has ongoing cases against Kraken Exchange, Uniswap, and Robinhood. The market is hopeful that positive updates from the SEC will remove uncertainty and stabilize the crypto market. The conclusion of the Ripple case is expected to take more time, with speculation that the SEC may pause certain aspects before taking further action. The SEC's scaling back of crypto enforcement efforts and reassignment of staff suggest a more balanced approach to regulation. Many believe that dropping these cases will benefit the overall market and that clarity on the classification of securities will lead to price increases. Attorney Jeremy Hogan suggests that the SEC may pause certain parts of the Ripple case, indicating progress towards conclusion. Former SEC lawyer Marc Fagel believes a settlement is the most likely outcome and could occur at any time.
