Future crypto regulation is evolving as governments worldwide introduce new policies and laws to manage digital assets. From stricter compliance measures to innovation-friendly frameworks, the regulatory landscape will define crypto’s future. Understanding these global shifts is key for investors and businesses.
The SEC and Gemini, a cryptocurrency exchange, filed a New York federal court letter requesting a 60-day stay in the lawsuit involving Gemini’s Earn program. The two parties ask the court to stay this action for 60 days through June 1, 2023.
The filing said the parties think it is in their mutual interest to stay this case temporarily so they can assess the possibility of resolving it, adding that this temporary stay will prejudice neither party.
This suspension shows how things are slowly changing at the SEC under the watch of Mark Uyeda. The agency has withdrawn a slew of lawsuits against various cryptocurrency firms in recent months, like Coinbase, Kraken, and Ripple.
The SEC has been making crypto companies fight costly, long legal battles, said Gemini’s Cameron Winklevoss. Recently, the SEC has also dropped investigations against other big players like OpenSea, Uniswap, and Crypto.com.
If a deal is reached, the SEC, which is now in charge, might treat crypto firms more kindly. The court will receive a status update in the next 60 days.
