The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is officially backing off its investigation into NFT marketplace OpenSea — yet another example of the crypto industry benefitting from loose regulations under the Trump administration. OpenSea co-founder and CEO Devin Finzer shared the news late Friday. The announcement came on the heels of Coinbase’s announcement that the SEC was dropping its case against them. “The SEC is closing its investigation into [Opensea]. This is a win for everyone who is creating and building in our space,” Finzer declared on X. “Trying to classify NFTs as securities would have been a step backward—one that misinterprets the law and slows innovation. Every creator, big or small, should be able to build freely without unnecessary barriers.” The SEC is closing its investigation into @opensea . This is a win for everyone who is creating and building in our space. Trying to classify NFTs as securities would have been a step backward—one that misinterprets the law and slows innovation. Every creator, big or small,… Last August, Finzer revealed that OpenSea received a Wells notice warning of potential charges related to unregistered securities. OpenSea had vowed to fight back, and now, it seems the marketplace has come out on top. If all this sounds like a pattern, that’s because it is. President Donald Trump received millions in campaign contributions from the crypto industry heading into the 2024 elections, according to Bloomberg . Former SEC Chair Gary Gensler, a former Goldman Sachs banker turned regulatory bulldog, led the toughest crackdown the crypto industry has ever seen. Under his watch, the SEC came after everyone from industry titans like OpenSea, Coinbase and Ripple, the firm behind XRP. Ripple and the SEC have been in a legal spat since 2020. The regulator accused Ripple Labs of selling unregistered securities, but Judge Analisa Torres ruled that XRP was not a security when sold to exchanges but determined that its institutional sales violated securities laws. She ordered Ripple to pay $125 million, significantly lower than the SEC’s initial $2 billion demand. Both parties filed appeals , but the SEC may withdraw its case now that Trump nominated pro-crypto SEC commissioner Paul Atkins to be agency chair. Essentially, the crypto crackdown under Gensler is now slowing down and the agency is taking a more laissez-faire approach, exemplified by the Coinbase and OpenSea announcements. Meanwhile, OpenSea isn’t just celebrating its SEC victory—it’s also throwing a party in the form of a SEA token airdrop. The OpenSea Foundation announced Thursday that it will reward active, loyal, and longtime users of its NFT marketplace and Seaport protocol with free tokens. While details are still fuzzy on when the SEA token will actually launch, OpenSea traders are already rubbing their hands together at the thought of free digital loot. The company has also rolled out OS2, a new multi-chain trading platform.

The XRP price plunged 3% in the last 24 hours to trade at $2.57 as of 11:28 p.m. EST on trading volume that rose 48% to $5.2 billion. The Ripple token’s performance continues to be volatile, driven by shifting sentiment around the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) case against the sale of XRP. Much of XRP’s recent strength comes from speculation that the SEC may abandon its appeal, allowing Ripple to operate without looming legal threats. Arthur Azizov, CEO at the crypto business B2BinPay, bullishly believes that XRP could reach a price range of $5 to $7 in the first half of 2025. The XRP price has been trading within an ascending channel on the 12-hour timeframe. The Ripple token price surged dramatically in late 2024 and has since been consolidating within this upward-sloping structure. The current price of $2.5759 is slightly below the midline of this channel, suggesting ongoing market indecision. The 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $2.6472 is acting as dynamic resistance, while the 200-period SMA at $2.3588 is serving as strong long-term support. The recent price action shows a bounce off the lower boundary of the channel, indicating that bulls are defending this level. Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 46.03, slightly below the neutral 50 level. This suggests a balance between bullish and bearish momentum, with no clear dominance from either side. If RSI moves above 50, it could confirm renewed bullish strength. XRP/USDT Chart Analysis (Tradingview) The overall trend remains bullish as long as the XRP price stays within the ascending channel. A break above $2.65 (50-day SMA) could lead to a move toward $3.00–$3.40, aligning with the upper channel resistance. Intense bullish pressure and fundamental pressure could push the price of XRP towards the $10 mark. However, if the price of XRP fails to hold the channel’s lower boundary and drops below the 200-day SMA at $2.35, this could trigger a bearish shift, possibly leading to a retest of $2.00.

Societe Generale-FORGE, a subsidiary of Societe Generale Group and licensed investment firm, has deployed its euro-backed stablecoin on the Stellar network. With several stablecoin issuers getting regulatory approval to offer the Markets in Crypto Assets-compliant stablecoins in Europe, SG-FORGE announced it selected Stellar (XLM) blockchain network for its own launch. On Feb. 20, Societe Generale-FORGE said its multi-chain strategy takes flight with the deployment of the MiCA-compliant stablecoin EURCV CoinVertible on Stellar.
