According to Stark, who oversaw the SEC\u2019s Office of Internet Enforcement for eleven years, the agency will withdraw its <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/crypto\/ripple-leaders-criticize-sec-amid-appeal-process\/\">appeal,<\/a> which would represent a dramatic change in the way that cryptocurrency is regulated.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"402\" data-end=\"448\">A Turning Point in SEC\u2019s Crypto Strategy<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"450\" data-end=\"718\">Stark shared his views on social media platform X, asserting, <em>\u201cIn my opinion, the SEC will never again file a pleading in a court case advocating that any digital asset is a security. That is the reason why a withdrawal of the SEC\u2019s Ripple appeal is inevitable.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"720\" data-end=\"1006\">He also stated, \u201c<em>I also believe that the SEC will win the Ripple appeal, and such a victory would be wholly inconsistent with its current crypto\u2013ethos.\u201d<\/em> This suggests that while the SEC may have a strong legal case, it might lack the motivation to continue its battle with Ripple.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1008\" data-end=\"1360\">Beyond Ripple, Stark pointed to broader shifts in the SEC\u2019s enforcement approach. He noted that cases against Uniswap and OpenSea were recently closed, indicating a less aggressive stance toward digital assets. If the SEC follows through on withdrawing the Ripple appeal, it could signal a major shift in how U.S. regulators engage with crypto firms.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1414\" data-end=\"1770\">In another post on X, Stark remarked, <em>\u201cSo this is how the SEC dies. The rapid-fire demolition of the SEC crypto-enforcement program continues. SEC investigations of Uniswap &amp; Opensea officially closed. Both firms had received wells notices under SEC Chair [Gary] Gensler.\u201d<\/em> He further added, <em>\u201cDropping of the SEC\u2019s Ripple appeal next up for sure.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong>177% up to 5BTC + 77 <strong> Free Spins<\/strong>!<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.

The action against Coinbase, which was accused of functioning as an unlicensed securities exchange, was recently dropped by the agency. Furthermore, without pursuing enforcement action, the SEC concluded its inquiry into Robinhood\u2019s cryptocurrency business. These actions point to a change in regulations under the current administration, which could encourage innovation in the cryptocurrency industry by lessening legal constraints.<\/p>\n<p>Ripple\u2019s success might signal a more significant shift in the SEC\u2019s enforcement of crypto laws, changing the regulatory environment of the sector if Stark\u2019s forecasts come to pass.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/crypto\/ex-sec-official-predicts-ripple-appeal-withdrawal-is-inevitable\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Crypto News &#8211; iGaming.org ) Former SEC officer John Reed Stark claims that the agency is getting ready to withdraw from its legal battle with Ripple.
