The SEC has officially stated that most meme coins do not qualify as securities under federal law. According to the Commission, meme coins derive their value from market speculation rather than being tied to the profits or managerial efforts of a business. This means that meme coin transactions do not require SEC registration, and holders of these tokens are not protected under federal securities laws. However, the SEC emphasized that fraudulent activities related to meme coins can still be prosecuted under other federal and state laws. This marks a significant shift from the regulatory approach under former SEC Chair Gary Gensler, who had pushed for stricter oversight of crypto assets, including meme coins.

The announcement comes amid a changing political landscape, with newly appointed SEC Chairman Mark Uyeda aiming to provide clearer regulatory boundaries for the crypto industry. The guidance aligns with Trump’s pro-crypto stance, as he recently launched his own meme coin, $TRUMP, which has since seen a steep decline in value. In a separate move, the SEC also dismissed its lawsuit against Coinbase, signaling a potential softening of its enforcement-heavy approach. These developments suggest a new era of crypto regulation, with the SEC prioritizing transparency and distinct classification rather than blanket enforcement actions. After this announcement, $SOL shot up 8% to a price of $146.

WHALE WATCHES THE DIP🗣

A whale recently bought 50,000 $SOL for $6.77 million after previously selling over 100,000 $SOL for $28.23 million between November and January, showing a strategic re-entry at a lower price. Another whale, purchased 4,000 $BTC worth $344 million during the recent market dip, reinforcing their influence in Bitcoin’s price action and market trends.

On the selling side, a whale offloaded 2,375 $ETH after accumulating it at $1,815 two years ago, locking in significant gains. Meanwhile, Bitcoin ETFs saw a record $3.3 billion in outflows in February as investors moved to safer assets, contributing to Bitcoin’s 28 percent decline from its peak and signaling a shift in market sentiment. That’s why it’s dipped down below $80,000.
