The rally coincided with reports suggesting possible regulatory easing under Donald Trump’s administration. Speculation surrounds the U.S. SEC reconsidering certain lawsuits against crypto companies.
Reports indicate that Paul Atkins, as the new SEC chair, may pause in ongoing cases involving firms like Coinbase and Ripple. However, Senate approval is required for Atkins’s appointment, and it remains uncertain how the new leadership will manage existing lawsuits.
Meanwhile, the XRP lawsuit between Ripple and the SEC continues to unfold with critical developments. Both parties have agreed to file a deferred appendix for the cross-appeals, while the SEC’s opening brief is due tomorrow. As Donald Trump prepares to take office, market participants remain attentive to developments that could affect regulatory decisions.
