3. DeFi Lobbying Group Withdraws Airdrop Lawsuit Against US SEC, Says Crypto Industry Landscape Has Changed
On March 17, according to Cointelegraph, Texas-based apparel company Beba and crypto lobbying group DeFi Education Fund have voluntarily withdrawn their 2024 lawsuit against the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The lawsuit targeted the SEC's regulatory approach to airdrops, accusing it of violating the Administrative Procedure Act by enforcing digital asset policies without formal rule-making procedures. The voluntary withdrawal document cited the work of the SEC's Crypto Task Force and several speeches by Commissioner Hester Peirce last year, in which Peirce implied that airdropped tokens were not securities and mentioned that the SEC was considering establishing an exemption framework for airdrops, as well as the White House's January executive action encouraging the SEC to establish "safe harbors" for certain airdrops.
The DeFi Education Fund stated that given the work of the SEC's Crypto Task Force and recent speeches suggesting a possible shift in the Commission's stance on free airdrops, continuing the lawsuit is no longer necessary.
... The dismissal was deemed an unbiased rejection, reserving the right to revoke the lawsuit in the future.
