The meeting between Trump and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom concluded, yielding significant announcements. Concurrently, the formal proceedings regarding the Coinbase case have been finalized. The recent SEC announcement shared critical details that are drawing attention in the financial sector.
Coinbase Case Dismissed
Given its relevance, let’s quickly address Trump’s comments. He indicated a major signal regarding customs duties, stating that “permanent customs duties will no longer be necessary thanks to trade agreements.” This remark has sparked hope for solutions by April.
The second significant development is the official conclusion of the Coinbase case. The SEC has withdrawn its lawsuit against the Coinbase exchange, while Coinbase has waived its right to file a counter-suit. The SEC has reiterated that a new regulatory framework will be developed for the cryptocurrency market.
Vice Chairman Mark T. Uyeda commented:
“For the past few years, the Commission’s views on cryptocurrency have largely been expressed through enforcement actions without capturing public interest. It is time for the Commission to correct its approach and develop cryptocurrency policy in a more transparent manner. The Crypto Task Force is designed to do precisely this.”
