- 🙅 SEC doesn't want rules. The SEC denied Coinbase's push for detailed crypto rules as "unwarranted," Coinbase's legal officer called the SEC's move an "abdication of its duty."

BONK's ridiculous breakout surge calmed Friday morning as well, staying relatively flat alongside SOL. It wasn't all yawns this AM, however, as investors capped off a bullish week for modular blockchain products and dapps with even more action.
