The latest crypto price actions suggest that the cryptocurrency market may be slowly moving out of the recent recession instigated by United Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) lawsuits filed against the two top crypto trading platforms, Binance and Coinbase. Notably, Bitcoin (BTC) retested $29,000 on Wednesday after dipping to as low as $24,800 on June 6, with several popular altcoins, including Shiba Inu (SHIB), regaining momentum.
In a recent development, the US SEC and Binance entered an agreement to allow Binance.US to continue operations in the US, pending the outcome of their ongoing legal battle.
Following the approval of this agreement by Washington, D.C. federal judge Amy Berman Jackson on 17 June 2023 coupled with the court’s denial of the U.S SEC’s application for a temporary restraining order (TRO) to freeze all Binance.US assets, the cryptocurrency market has recorded a mild recovery.
