A solo miner defies the odds and hits the jackpot! With a one in 5,500 chance, this independent miner struck gold by solving a Bitcoin block worth 6 BTC, approximately $160,000.

For several months, the crypto industry has been under pressure. The culprit is the heavy regulatory burden imposed by Gary Gensler, the head of the SEC. He has been launching offensives to exert his power over crypto firms, but some politicians are unwilling to let him deploy his strategy, which they consider fundamentally incoherent.

Usually, when the SEC classifies any token as a “security,” it is followed by sanctions for fraud or illegal sale of an “unregistered security.” And to make matters worse, the digital asset witnesses a plunge in its price. Three famous crypto projects, Solana, Cardano, and Polygon, recently concerned about the actions of the SEC, are taking a stand to avoid the worst.

The European banking sector may witness new laws in the coming days. EU policymakers, who have never hidden their desire to regulate this sector, particularly banks' access to cryptocurrencies, are taking a giant leap and could see their dream become a reality soon.

The SEC has been on a witch hunt against crypto firms for several weeks now. It staunchly defends its position to clean up the American crypto industry and promote its growth. However, many players in this industry do not see the regulator's actions in the same light.

Last Tuesday, the SEC, through its chairman, Gary Gensler, filed legal proceedings against the crypto platform Coinbase. The case could see its first twist as Coinbase claims to have evidence of potential bad faith on Gary Gensler's part in this matter.

“We don't need more digital currencies,” said Gary Gensler on CNBC. Is this why the SEC is targeting both Binance and Coinbase, which have hundreds of millions of crypto investors? In any case, the heads of these exchanges declare that they will respond to the SEC's attacks.

In a context of increasing tension between financial regulators and crypto platforms, the announcement of a new lawsuit by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against Binance has stirred up a storm. The SEC accuses Binance of artificially inflating its transaction volumes and violating several rules, particularly regarding access for US users to its platform. However, a detail has caught the attention of some observers: the unexpected absence of Ripple's XRP from the list of cryptocurrencies that the SEC now considers securities. While XRP has been under attack by the SEC for the past two years, this absence raises numerous questions. Why is XRP missing from this list? Is it a deliberate strategy on the part of the SEC? What could be the repercussions of this decision?

What does the SEC really want by shaking up Binance? The collapse of the crypto industry or its regulation? Many see Gary Gensler and his team's recent initiatives as developing a visceral hatred towards the cryptosphere. In addition to targeting the world's largest exchange, they have also decided to go after 10 tokens traded on the secondary market, such as Cardano's ADA.

Hinman's emails, the former head of the SEC, are crucial in its lawsuit against Ripple.

But this lock could potentially be fully lifted.

Several analysts are betting on the SEC's defeat against Ripple after a long and tough legal battle. We just have to wait for Judge Torres' verdict, which they believe will favor Brad Garlinghouse's company. As this case approaches its conclusion, crypto investors see positive signs everywhere.
