The Bitcoin Regulatory Landscape
summary
SEC approves 11 spot Bitcoin ETPs by a 3–2 vote after a court forces reconsideration, tying ETPs to futures markets and increasing exchange surveillance; SEC sues Coinbase and litigates Ripple with conflicting district court rulings that may reach the Second Circuit; Ether ETPs face likely denial and would be market‑disruptive if declared securities; FASB issues a new ASU moving many crypto holdings to fair value accounting (effective 2025, early adoption allowed); banks pull back after Silvergate/SVB/Signature failures and SAB 121 fuels custody liability concerns.
