The major ruling against the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the case involving Debt Box is set to rule post many implications for both the global digital assets industry and American taxpayers. However, the <a href="https://news.todayq.com/bitcoin-dive-to-64k-sparks-crypto-bloodbath-more-turmoil-ahead/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">crypto market</a> saw a mid level crash on Tuesday as Bitcoin price dipped to touch the $62k price level. SEC to pay heavy fines 
According to reports, the sanctions imposed on the SEC are monetary in nature. The commission will be compelled to bear the legal fees and court costs incurred by both <a href="https://news.todayq.com/crypto-firm-debt-box-faces-sec-lawsuit-for-50-million-fraudulent-scheme/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Debt Box </a>(defendants). However, the court has appointed a receiver in the case.
While the exact amount of these expenses is yet to be decided it is anticipated that they will be heavy.
Eleanor Terrett, a fox business journalist, in a post, revealed that a legal source has stated that “The SEC basically just forced a bill on American taxpayers for their own unlawfulness.” This suggests that the country’s taxpayers will ultimately bear these monetary sanctions. The cap’s outcome highlights concerns about the regulators’ accountability and fiscal responsibility.
She added that the ruling comes at a crucial time as Congress finalizes the SEC’s 2024 budget this week. It should be noted that the imposition of additional costs resulting from the sanctions could strain the agency’s fixed budget. However, the commission would need to make cuts to existing programs or seek additional funding from Congress.&nbsp;
As the funding deadline looms, this situation adds further complexity to the SEC’s financial management. What’s next for the watchdog? 
The latest ruling by US District Court Judge Robert J. Shelby showed a criticism of the SEC’s conduct. He even characterized it as a “gross abuse of power” highlighting the integrity of the judicial process.&nbsp;
The judge outlined the misconduct done by the commission suggesting an intentional misrepresentation of evidence to obtain a temporary restraining order (TRO). This includes asset freezing orders against Debt Box.
The crucial case of the crypto industry saw the SEC’s false claims regarding overseas transfers of funds. This allegation ultimately misled the court, leading it to compromise the integrity of the legal proceedings.
Amid this legal battle, the crypto market saw a major drop of 7% over the last day. The cumulative market cap now stands at $2.39 trillion. Bitcoin price dropped by more than 7% in the last 24 hours leaving it to trade around $63,000 price level.
