Biden

Rule

The US Securities and Exchange Commission is finally easing up its leash on the crypto community. Amidst growing calls for clearer rules in crypto, the SEC has wrapped up its investigation into Paxos, a New York stablecoin issuer.
On July 9, Jorge Tenreiro, acting chief of the SEC’s crypto unit, informed Paxos they wouldn’t face enforcement action after over a year of scrutiny and a Wells notice served. The investigation started with increasing concerns that BUSD might be a security due to its profit-sharing model with Binance. However, the SEC’s move shows they see BUSD as a digital dollar rather than an investment.
This development follows recent legal setbacks for the SEC, including a federal court ruling that transactions involving BUSD did not amount to securities offerings, providing further legal precedent favorable to stablecoin issuers.
How It Helps the Crypto Industry:
By dropping this case, the SEC provides a degree of clarity and relief to the broader crypto industry, This decision could potentially pave the way for increased innovation and investment in decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts. This also suggests that digital assets pegged to and backed by the U.S. dollar, may not be treated as securities moving forward.
The SEC’s decision marks a significant victory for stablecoins, offering clarity amidst regulatory uncertainties. Walter Hessert, Paxos’s strategy head, described it as a relief, emphasizing the impact of operating under a “cloud” of a Wells notice for over a year. This uncertainty had previously hindered Paxos’s ability to form new partnerships, including potential collaborations with companies like PayPal.
This development eases restrictions for Paxos and is expected to stimulate further innovation in the U.S. stablecoin market. Hessert expressed optimism, stating, “It definitely will accelerate some really exciting enterprise conversations.”
