This development suggests a potentially protracted legal ordeal akin to other high-profile crypto cases, including Ripple&#39;s ongoing litigation.During the June 20 hearing, Judge Orrick expressed his inclination to align with previous rulings by Judges Rakoff and Failla, who similarly rebuffed motions to dismiss in analogous cases. This signals a significant setback for Kraken, setting the stage for a prolonged legal skirmish over the classification of digital assets as securities, which could have far-reaching implications for cryptocurrency regulation in the United States.<a href="https://cryptotale.org/krakens-fate-hangs-in-balance-as-sec-lawsuit-takes-unexpected-turn/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Read more on CryptoTale.</a>Visit the links for more information <a href="https://cryptotale.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Website</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/cryptotalemedia" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Twitter </a>| <a href="https://t.me/cryptotale_news" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Telegram </a>| <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cryptotalenews/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Instagram </a>|
