Foreign media: The SEC is prioritizing cryptocurrency lawsuits with closer deadlines
ChainCatcher news, FOX Business reporter Eleanor Terrett stated that, according to several legal sources, the SEC has been prioritizing cases with court deadlines, which explains why we have not yet seen any pause requests in the Ripple and Kraken cases.
Ripple's next court deadline is April 16, while Kraken's deadline appears to be March 31. The Binance case has been postponed to April 14, Lejilex's case to April 11, and Coinbase has agreed with the SEC to extend the deadline, allowing the SEC to respond to Coinbase's interim appeal request by March 14.
SEC leadership may expect that Trump-nominated Chairman Paul Atkins will be confirmed by then. In the meantime, the cryptocurrency special working group, Congress, and the Presidential Working Group on Digital Assets may be working to fill the regulatory gaps that led to the initial lawsuits.
