The SEC has retracted its attempt to appeal a court decision that halted its enforcement of the 'dealer rule' on crypto liquidity providers with large capital reserves.

What’s the Scoop?

  • SEC Appeal Withdrawn: The SEC has submitted a motion to pull back its appeal against a court verdict that restricted its enforcement of the 'dealer rule' on crypto and DeFi stakeholders.
  • Focus on Crypto Firms: The rule was aimed at compelling crypto liquidity providers with assets exceeding $50 million to adhere to existing securities regulations.
  • Implications for the Industry: This move is perceived as a triumph for the crypto industry, underscoring the regulatory hurdles in the rapidly changing digital asset space.
  • Encouragement for Dialogue: The withdrawal could pave the way for more meaningful dialogue between the SEC and the crypto community.
