<p>The ever-changing crypto arena recently witnessed a major victory for Grayscale, marking a significant rout for the SEC. At the heart of this event, two giants of the cryptosphere, Ripple and Coinbase, scan the horizon with renewed confidence.</p> 
<h2 id="winds-of-change-blow-through-crypto-regulation">Winds of change blow through crypto regulation</h2> 
<p>The legal battle has been fierce, and the decision of a three-judge panel of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals clearly tilted in favor of Grayscale Investments, leaving the SEC without convincing answers.</p>

<p>The SEC’s reasons for rejecting Bitcoin <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/etf-bitcoin-nouveau-danger-pour-les-investisseurs-2/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ETFs</a> proved not only weak, but also exposed a glaring lack of clarity over the classification of cryptos as securities. This regulatory opacity, symbolized by Gary Gensler’s inability to clarify the status of cryptos, demonstrates a worrying wavering for an organization of this stature.</p> 
<p>Indignation was not long in coming. <a href="https://twitter.com/JohnEDeaton1/status/1696699846063763801?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">John Deaton</a>, a fervent pro-XRP advocate, was quick to express his displeasure at the SEC’s misguided stance, openly questioning Gensler’s strategy. Meanwhile, analyst Scott Melker, nicknamed “The Wolf of All Streets”, predicts a favorable outcome for Coinbase against the SEC, supporting Deaton’s vision.</p>

<p>The wave of optimism in crypto is not limited to these players. Ripple executives, including General Counsel <a href="https://twitter.com/s_alderoty/status/1696601376929800385?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stuart Alderony</a> and CEO Brad Garlinghouse, have openly criticized the SEC for its actions, which are often seen as arbitrary and devoid of legal basis. Alderony didn’t mince his words, calling the agency a “hypocrite” and pointing the finger at its repeated failings in court.</p> 
<p><a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/etf-bitcoin-se-rapproche-la-sec-perd-une-bataille-face-a-grayscale-2/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Grayscale’s victory</a> had immediate repercussions on the market. Coinbase’s share price climbed spectacularly, testifying to investor confidence. Legal precedents, such as Grayscale’s, opened a breach, weakening the SEC’s arguments and strengthening the position of crypto companies.</p> 
<h2 id="towards-an-uncertain-future">Towards an uncertain future</h2> 
<p>Today’s victory shapes tomorrow’s landscape. While this SEC defeat may be seen as a thorn removed from the crypto industry’s side, it also raises new questions. How will regulation evolve in the future? Will the dialogue between traditional financial institutions and the crypto sector improve? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: the cryptosphere continues to challenge, innovate and surprise. What’s more, the <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/ripple-vs-sec-le-proces-entre-dans-une-phase-critique-2/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">trial opposing Ripple to the SEC</a> now seems to be moving in the right direction.</p>
