<p>The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has decided to revise its complaint in the lawsuit against Binance, removing<a href="https://coinpedia.org/price-analysis/solana-price-analysis-heres-what-may-happen-if-the-sol-price-hits-200-this-week/"> Solana (SOL)</a> from its list of securities. This legal adjustment could signal a shift in the regulatory landscape for certain cryptocurrencies. The decision follows recent court rulings that have already impacted the classification of other crypto assets.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-sec-exclude-solana-from-security-statues">SEC Exclude Solana From Security Statues</h2> 
<p>The SEC’s lawsuit against Binance, Binance.US, and co-founder Changpeng Zhao originally included several third-party crypto assets as securities. However, the SEC announced plans to modify its complaint in a joint status response filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on July 30.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This change removes the classification of Solana as a security, aligning with the court’s earlier order stating that BNB and BUSD secondary sales are not securities.</p> 
<p>The SEC noted that there is no immediate need for the court to rule on the security status of these crypto tokens, marking a shift in their legal strategy. This modification provides partial relief for assets such as Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), and Polygon (MATIC), which were initially included in the SEC’s complaint.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-change-in-regulatory-approach">Change In Regulatory Approach</h2> 
<p>The SEC’s decision to remove Solana from its list of securities could signal a broader change in how cryptocurrencies are perceived and regulated in the U.S.&nbsp; This may provide clarity for Solana, which has long existed in a regulatory gray area. The change might also pave the way for new opportunities, such as a <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/after-vaneck-21shares-now-cboe-global-filed-for-solana-etf-price-surge-by-6-6/">Solana exchange-traded fund (ETF)</a>.</p> 
<p>The parties involved have agreed on a proposed schedule for briefing on the motion to amend and related pleadings, with deadlines set within 30 days.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-community-and-market-reactions">Community and Market Reactions</h2> 
<p>The crypto community has largely welcomed the SEC’s amendments, with some members expressing optimism about Solana’s future. There are various price targets for Solana, with some speculating it could reach $1,000 soon.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, the overall reaction in the cryptocurrency market has been muted, with Solana currently trading at <a href="https://markets.coinpedia.org/solana/">approximately $183</a>, reflecting a decline of 4.71% over the past 24 hours.</p> 
<p>As the situation unfolds, the SEC’s revised stance may influence future regulatory approaches and market dynamics for Solana and other cryptocurrencies.</p>
