Some fun-facts that the public isn't aware about. The SEC has been running into a lot of bad luck lately, (and getting desperate). Their case against XRP has been turning into a very long, and drawn out disaster. It was a situation that everyone was expecting the SEC to just steam-roll over the opposition--
Instead, its turned into a repeat of watching the WOKE red-army of Russia get its ass kicked by a much smaller nation of Europe. In a very embarrassing show of force that hasn't gone anywhere but just got bogged down, halted, and is wasting all that tax payer's money.
Now, they opened up multiple other court case fronts, against some other big entities that are also going to pick up arms and fight.
For some reason... the SEC got a little soft with Kraken... Looks like Kraken didn't want to fight this one out, so they compromised... paid a small fine and agreed to surrender staking.
This will be an interesting shit-show to watch unfold... CoinBase is fully prepared to go a 5-year court battle as well. They built up their staking platform for both retail & institutions the last few years, and are not going to surrender that revenue stream easily.
