As of today, the SEC has agreed in principle to dismiss its enforcement case against Coinbase exchange. The decision is pending approval from the SEC’s commissioners, expected to take place next week. Initially, in June 2023, under the leadership of then-Chair Gary Gensler, the SEC filed a lawsuit against Coinbase, accusing it of operating as an unregistered securities exchange, broker, and clearing agency. The SEC claimed Coinbase facilitated trading in at least 13 crypto tokens considered securities without proper registration. Coinbase consistently refuted the SEC’s allegations, asserting that its business model had been transparent and previously reviewed by the SEC during its public listing process in April 2021. The company noted that no major changes have occurred in its operations to justify the legal action. Just recently, the SEC had also withdrawn its appeal concerning the application of broker-dealer regulations to decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, effectively ending that legal dispute. Earlier in 2024, the SEC proposed expanding the definition of “dealer” to cover crypto liquidity providers and automated market makers with over $50 million in capital, which would have required them to register as dealers. Both of these decisions align with a broader shift in the US government’s approach to cryptocurrency regulation.

This change is exemplified by the establishment of a Crypto Task Force within the SEC, intending to provide clearer guidelines and reduce enforcement actions against crypto firms.

New data on ETF movements shows some interesting shifts in crypto. On one hand, Bitcoin saw $64.1 million in outflows—meaning investors may be cashing out or taking profits. On the other hand, Ethereum enjoyed a $19 million inflow, suggesting some money is flowing into Ethereum as investors move away from Bitcoin for the time being. According to analyst Nicholas Merten , this isn’t too surprising. Bitcoin has been outperforming Ethereum recently, and with Ethereum’s price lower, some investors are seizing the opportunity to diversify. In fact, even though many believe Ethereum is done for, some technical signs suggest a potential rally for ETH and altcoins in the near future. Ethereum’s market has seen some volatile movements lately. For example, just this week Ethereum saw a sharp price increase followed by an almost immediate retracement. Related: Bitcoin’s Range-Bound Trading Ethereum Could Benefit, Analysts Say This quick surge and fall was largely due to open interest, where a significant number of long positions were opened on Ethereum. As these positions were closed, the price quickly pulled back. Despite this short-term volatility, Ethereum’s overall outlook looks promising to some. Merten said that the price has been holding strong near the top of its range, showing resilience despite the market fluctuations. Historical patterns at these price levels suggest that once Ethereum breaks through this resistance, it could start moving up, possibly starting a parabolic rise. From a technical standpoint, Ethereum could soon outperform Bitcoin. The cryptocurrency has been trading between $2,000 and $4,000 for over a year, with fluctuations between these levels creating buying opportunities for investors. There is a possibility that Ethereum may drop further before rebounding. Key price levels to monitor are between $1,975 and $2,044, as these levels represent important yearly pivots that could influence future price movements.

If Ethereum breaks above the $3,100 mark and holds, it could signal further upside potential. Disclaimer: The information presented in this article is for informational and educational purposes only.

Prominent crypto critic Jim Cramer has issued a bearish warning, stating that fear could prevent a market rebound before Monday. His comments align with the latest downturn in the cryptocurrency market, where the total market cap has dropped by 3.3% to $3.298 trillion in the past day. Bitcoin fell 2.1% to $96,399, extending its monthly losses to 5.9%. Ethereum, Solana, and XRP also posted declines, fueling investor uncertainty over near-term price action. Meanwhile, Cramer’s statement sparked debate, particularly from traders who follow the “Inverse Cramer” strategy, which involves doing the opposite of his market calls. A trader argued that Cramer’s bearish call implied that the market bottom was in and encouraged investors to accumulate assets like Bitcoin.

The swift turnaround followed a historic hack on the ByBit exchange, where crypto assets worth $1.5 billion were stolen. The incident reintroduced panic in the crypto market, triggering a sell-off as many moved to withdraw their funds from ByBit. In response to this panic, Ethereum’s price dipped to $2,616 from $2,850, while XRP crashed to $2.50 from an intraday high of $2.71. Amid this, Cramer tweeted, “Too much fear that Monday will open lower.” However, savvy market participants view his bearish sentiment for Monday as a promising sign that the market could turn around. Already, the market is rebounding, with Bitcoin trading above $96K at press time. In a related development, Bitcoin is approaching a significant short squeeze, with liquidations nearing $1 billion. If Bitcoin climbs toward the $100,000 mark, short-sellers could face heavy losses, potentially triggering a broader market rally. Related: Bitcoin on Short Squeeze Watch?

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has decided to drop its investigation into OpenSea, the largest NFT marketplace, opting not to take legal action. This decision is seen as a positive sign for the NFT industry. OpenSea founder Devin Finzer celebrated the report’s conclusion, calling it a win for creators and the Web3 community. The SEC’s probe into OpenSea began in August 2024 after the agency issued a Wells notice indicating its intent to take legal action. The main question was whether some non-fungible tokens (NFTs) traded on the platform should be classified as securities. Previously, the SEC had raised concerns about whether NFTs might be considered securities under securities laws. This was part of its ongoing efforts to regulate the cryptocurrency and digital asset industries. However, after a lengthy investigation, the SEC has chosen not to pursue legal action against OpenSea. Related: OpenSea Faces SEC Scrutiny Over NFT Classification Finzer the founder of OpenSea, announced the news to the public, confirming the investigation’s closure and sharing his satisfaction with the outcome. He described the decision as a positive step for the NFT space. He emphasized the importance of not classifying NFTs as securities, as he believes this could hinder innovation. Back in 2024, the initial Wells notice had suggested that NFTs on the platform could be subject to securities laws. This raised alarms within the industry, and many, including Finzer, argued that such a stance could harm innovation. The SEC’s decision to close the OpenSea investigation comes soon after the commission dismissed a lawsuit against the cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase. In the Coinbase case, the SEC had accused the platform of acting as an unregistered securities broker, but the SEC also dropped that case.
