In a significant move, the SEC has closed its investigation into Paxos’ BUSD stablecoin, signaling a potential shift in its regulatory stance toward the cryptocurrency industry.





In a notable decision, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has ended its investigation into Paxos’ BUSD stablecoin, according to Fortune. The move is seen as a major win for the cryptocurrency industry, which has long sought regulatory clarity.

SEC’s decision

On July 9, Jorge Tenreiro, Acting Director of the SEC’s Crypto Assets and Cyber ​​Division, notified Paxos that he did not intend to recommend enforcement action. This notice came more than a year after the SEC issued a Wealth Notice to Paxos, signaling imminent enforcement action against the BUSD stablecoin Paxos issued in partnership with Binance.

The SEC’s retreat comes partly from its loss in a lawsuit against Binance, where a federal judge ruled that the sale of BUSD did not constitute a securities offering. The judge’s decision appears to have influenced the SEC’s stance on the issue.

Impact on the Cryptocurrency Industry

The SEC’s decision provides relief to the broader stablecoin sector, including major players such as Paxos and PayPal and VanEck. Walter Hessert, head of strategy at Paxos, expressed optimism, saying the conclusion of the investigation will bring more certainty to the market and facilitate new corporate partnerships.

The SEC’s move is particularly timely as Congress continues to delay legislation to regulate the growing asset class. While stablecoins have been in a regulatory gray area, many in the industry argue that the lack of yield expectations, a key determinant of securities, sets stablecoins apart from other crypto assets.

Background on BUSD and Regulatory Challenges

Paxos first launched BUSD in September 2019 in partnership with Binance. While it has not caught up to competitors like Tether and USDC, its integration with the Binance ecosystem has made it a significant player in the stablecoin market.

The SEC argued that BUSD was an investment contract and therefore a security because it generated income from reserves. However, Paxos disagreed with the SEC’s position, stating that BUSD was backed 1:1 by dollar reserves.

The investigation has cast a cloud over Paxos, impacting its ability to form new partnerships, including potential collaborations with companies like PayPal. Hessert noted that corporate talks are likely to accelerate once the investigation is over.

Future Prospects

The SEC’s decision could bolster the U.S. stablecoin sector, which has seen companies look overseas to launch new products amid regulatory uncertainty. As the cryptocurrency industry continues to evolve, the resolution of this investigation could set a precedent for how similar cases are handled in the future.
