In brief The SEC has dismissed seven major crypto cases, even while enforcement actions dropped by 22% last year. Penalties dropped to $2.7 billion from $8.2 billion the prior year. Observers say the shift could ease regulatory overhang and unlock institutional capital. The SEC has said that the crypto enforcement campaign conducted under its previous leadership set “misguided expectations” in an annual report that appears to formally reject its past actions against crypto firms. Resources “have been misapplied in prior years to pursue media headlines and run up numbers,” the Commission said, adding that this has “led to misguided expectations…

The numbers behind the red ink Fold’s adjusted EBITDA loss came in at $17.2 million, translating to an adjusted loss per share of $0.41. For a company trading on…

In a filing late Tuesday, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and Department of Justice asked a federal court to block Arizona from enforcing its gambling laws against prediction market operator Kalshi. The agencies argue that contracts tied to sports, elections and other real-world events are financial derivatives known as “swaps,” placing them under federal oversight. If the courts agree, it could shift control of a fast-growing market away from states and into Washington, allowing prediction platforms to operate nationwide under…
