<p>The <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.256060/gov.uscourts.dcd.256060.273.0.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">motion </a>to that follows a ruling in a related case, SEC v. Payward, which involved the denial of crypto exchange Kraken’s motion to dismiss. The SEC’s decision to lift its complaint comes after consideration of the court’s order, as the agency aims to clarify its stand on the categorization of certain crypto assets as securities.</p>  
<p>The SEC’s filing, submitted to the District Court of Columbia, seeks permission to modify the original complaint specifically concerning the definition and treatment of “crypto asset securities.” In its proposed amended complaint (PAC), the SEC has included new details and adjustments, reflecting the latest legal interpretations and its evolving regulatory approach.</p>  
<p>The filing also features a redline comparison between the PAC and the original complaint, illustrating the key changes made by the agency. Additionally, the SEC provided the court with the recent order denying the motion to dismiss in the Kraken case, which has not yet been widely published.</p>
