π¦ Paxos Receives No-Action Letter from SEC on BUSD π
Paxos, the issuer of Binance's BUSD stablecoin, received a notification from the SEC stating no enforcement actions are planned.
π In February 2023, the NYDFS began investigating Paxos and later ordered it to stop issuing BUSD. The SEC also threatened to sue, claiming BUSD was a security, a claim Paxos strongly disputed.

π° According to CoinGecko, $69M worth of BUSD remains in circulation, with a 24-hour trading volume of $992,000.
βοΈ In June 2024, Judge Amy Berman Jackson partially dismissed the SEC's lawsuit against Binance, siding with the exchange on BUSD offering claims.

π For comparison, Dogecoin handles $590 million in large transactions daily, despite having three times the market cap.
This suggests significant whale activity on the Litecoin network. π³πΈ

πΊπΈ US Congress Fails to Override Biden's Veto on Repealing SAB 121
π€· On July 11, the lower house of the US Congress did not gather the necessary two-thirds majority to override the President's veto on a bill aimed at repealing SAB 121. The document essentially prohibited banks from holding digital assets on their balance sheets.

The SEC issued SAB 121 in April 2022. In February 2024, four industry organizations requested the agency to soften the document's provisions.
