SEC Faces Another Setback in Grayscale Case as Court Deems Its Decision Unfair and Lacking Reasonable Basis

  • Wechat scan to share

The SEC has suffered a setback in the Ripple lawsuit regarding the nature of XRP tokens. Additionally, the SEC may face another disappointing outcome in the Grayscale case. The D.C. Circuit has ruled that the SEC's decision to exclude certain stock volatility futures from certain regulations was unfair and lacked a reasonable basis. As a result, SPIKES Index Futures will now fall under "securities futures" rather than "futures," and market participants will have three months to adjust their transactions.

    Jussi Hiljanen, Chief Interest Rate Strategist at SEB Research, said in a report that the long-term US Treasury yield may further rise, partly because market confidence in US policy is waning. "Trust in US policy is eroding, considering the cost of forex hedging, lack of attractiveness in valuation, and investors shifting to European bonds, all indicate that long-term US yields face structural upward pressure, with long-term Treasury yields expected to rise modestly, but fiscal policy may trigger a significant repricing of US Treasury bonds."

  • South Korea plans to issue new guidelines in Q3 to lift ban on institutional cryptocurrency investments

    South Korean financial regulatory agency announced on Wednesday that it plans to release comprehensive guidelines for institutional cryptocurrency investments in the third quarter. The Financial Services Commission made this announcement during a meeting with local cryptocurrency industry experts. While investment guidelines for listed companies and professional investors are expected to be introduced in the third quarter, the Financial Services Commission stated that its goal is to release investment guidelines for non-profit organizations and cryptocurrency exchanges in April.

Last month, the regulatory agency revealed that it intends to first allow charities and universities to sell their cryptocurrency assets in the second quarter. The upcoming detailed guidelines further solidify South Korea's shift in stance towards cryptocurrencies, no longer strictly opposing the entry of crypto assets into traditional financial markets.

On March 7, the bill passed with 19 votes in favor, 7 votes against, and 3 abstentions, and will now be sent to Utah Governor Spencer Cox for signature into law.

    Golden Finance reported that TSMC is investing another billion US dollars in the United States, but the US "Wired" magazine reported on the 4th that an informed source said that this move did not stop the Trump administration from considering imposing potential tariffs of up to 100% on TSMC and other Taiwanese chip factories.
