On July 30, the SEC filed a response to the court’s minute order on July 9, 2024. In the filing, the SEC wrote that it seeks to amend its complaint regarding the “Third Party Crypto Asset Securities” defined in its opposition to Binance’s motion to dismiss.Excerpt of the SEC’s July 30 filing on the Binance case.

According to the SEC, this removes the need to “issue a ruling as to the sufficiency of the allegations as to those tokens at this time.” This means the government agency no longer asks the court to decide whether the affected tokens are securities.Which tokens are affected?


In its suit against Binance, the SEC claimed several tokens were securities. The list includes BNB (BNB), Binance USD (BUSD), Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), Polygon (MATIC), Cosmos (ATOM), The Sandbox (SAND), Decentraland (MANA), Axie Infinity (AXS) and Coti (COTI).


These tokens are just part of a bigger list of tokens that the SEC believes to be securities. In June 2023, the SEC claimed at least 68 tokens were securities, affecting more than $100 billion worth of cryptocurrencies in the market.

The SEC retracting its request to issue a ruling follows presidential candidates’ attempts to win over pro-crypto US voters.


On July 27, former President Donald Trump pledged to end the war on crypto as part of his election campaign. At the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, Tennessee, Trump said that the US will be the “crypto capital of the planet.”


The Republican Party candidate also said he would fire SEC Chair Gary Gensler on his first day as president and appoint a crypto and Bitcoin (BTC) presidential advisory council. Trump said he will appoint a new chairman to help America “build the future, not block the future.”


On the other side of the political spectrum, views on crypto are also beginning to shift. On July 27, Democratic Party members of the US House of Representatives signed a letter calling for the party to take a “forward-looking approach” to blockchain and digital assets.


In response to the letter, advisers of presidential candidate and incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris contacted crypto companies to repair the party’s ties to the crypto industry.
