Defense attorneys in the criminal fraud trial of John Karony neared the end of their case on Tuesday. The former SafeMoon CEO is accused of misrepresenting SafeMoon to investors, including by secretly withdrawing funds from SafeMoon liquidity pools and using them for personal purchases, including cars and real estate.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) said that meme coins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu are not securities, marking a landmark regulatory shift for the crypto industry.

In this regard, meme coins are akin to collectibles. Meme coins also typically have limited or no use or functionality.” The SEC’s guidance highlights a broader shift in US crypto regulation under the pro-crypto Trump administration, marking a departure from the regulation-by-enforcement approach of former chair Gary Gensler. “This is HUGE,” said The Ko...
