🔴 US Judge rejects SEC Claims against Binance 🟩 Tether.io Signs MoU with BTguru (Turkey) ❗ Paxos gains approval for Singapore 🟠Bitcoin could replace the $US- Jack Dorsey 

🔴 A U.S. federal judge dismissed several key claims by the SEC against Binance, rejecting the notion that crypto tokens like Binance’s BNB are securities. The court found the SEC did not prove that secondary market sales of BNB or Binance’s stablecoin, BUSD, constituted securities transactions. This ruling limits the SEC’s ability to regulate the crypto market through enforcement and highlights the need for clearer and more consistent regulations. While some of the SEC’s claims were allowed to proceed, the decision is seen as a victory for Binance and the broader crypto industry. Info here https://lnkd.in/d9vp7h8u
