Despite this impressive growth, the rate of millionaire wallet creation is not as high as in the 2021 bull market, which saw over 4,000 wallets daily reach the…

Crypto Lobbyists Sue SEC Over 'Dealer' Definition

A U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rule expanding the definition of a "dealer" to capture digital assets activity went too far, a lawsuit by the Blockchain Association and Crypto Freedom Alliance of Texas alleged. The suit, filed in the District Court for the Northern District of Texas on Tuesday, claims that the expanded definition of a dealer would capture people who are just trading in digital assets.
