Catenaa, Saturday, March 01, 2025-The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has dropped multiple investigations into major cryptocurrency firms, signaling a shift in regulatory policy under the Trump administration.
Robinhood Crypto confirmed Tuesday that the SEC ended its probe into the company’s alleged sales of unregistered securities without enforcement action. The investigation, which began last spring, was formally closed on Feb. 21.
Uniswap Labs also announced the SEC dropped its investigation into the decentralized exchange, following similar moves for Coinbase and OpenSea. The SEC had accused Uniswap of operating as an unregistered securities broker and exchange.
The decision reflects a broader policy change under Acting Chairperson Mark T. Uyeda, who has moved away from regulation-by-enforcement toward clearer guidelines for digital assets. While the SEC has also paused its case against Binance, it has not yet been dismissed.
Robinhood and other industry leaders are now pushing for structured regulations to provide clarity for crypto businesses. The shift in enforcement strategy could mark a pivotal moment for the sector, potentially stabilizing the market and influencing Bitcoin’s price trajectory.
