<p><strong>SEC Amends Complaint</strong></p> 
<p>On July 30, 2024, the SEC <a href="https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/67474542/253/securities-and-exchange-commission-v-binance-holdings-limited/">filed</a> a response to the court’s July 9 minute order. The SEC informed the court of its plan to amend its complaint concerning the “Third Party Crypto Asset Securities.” This action aims to avoid the need for the court to rule on whether these tokens are securities. By amending its complaint, the SEC seeks to streamline the legal process and focus on other aspects of the case.</p>

<p>The list also included tokens like Cosmos (ATOM), The Sandbox (SAND), Decentraland (MANA), Axie Infinity (AXS), and Coti (COTI). These tokens were part of a larger group that the SEC had previously identified as securities, affecting over $100 billion worth of cryptocurrencies.</p>
