A U.S. District Court has dismissed a class action lawsuit against Uniswap, one of the world’s top decentralized exchanges (DEXes), stating that the plaintiffs’ claims were “devoid of factual support”, highlighting ambiguities in current crypto regulations. On Aug. 29, a class action lawsuit against Uniswap was dismissed by Judge Katherine Polk Failla, who is also overseeing a case by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission against Coinbase. The judge found that some of the allegations against Uniswap lacked factual evidence, rendering them untenable in a court of law. The lawsuit, initiated last year, accused Uniswap, its founder Hayden Adams, and venture capital firms Andreessen Horowitz and Paradigm of contributing to “rampant fraud” on the exchange. Additionally, the suit contended that Uniswap should register with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and it was involved in the sale of unregistered securities.

ADA bulls push prices from a support level of $0.25 to an intraday high of $0.2681 in the last 24 hours. Technical indicators suggest caution as bullish momentum wanes. Will ADA’s support hold, or will the bulls swoop in to break through resistance?

The deputy governor of the Spanish national central bank, Margarita Delgado, has spoken about the future of the digital euro and how private payment solutions will interact with it. Speaking in line with the recently proposed digital euro legislative plan, Delgado reveals that it is expected that the digital euro will help the private sector’s development of pan-European payment and financial services.  She believes these developments will make the continent’s financial system easier to compete with non-European solutions.

Judge Analisa Torres will likely reject the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) interlocutory appeal , according to attorney John Deaton. Speaking at the first annual onXDC Live blockchain conference held in Texas, Deaton — founder of Crypto-Law.us and managing partner of the Deaton Law Firm — claimed the SEC had not actually appealed against the ruling that favored Ripple’s XRP. According to Deaton, Torres, who ruled that XRP is not a security if sold on secondary markets, has only allowed the regulator to file a motion for an interlocutory appeal . He further added that there was a likelihood the judge would deny the SEC’s motion, forcing the regulator to file a complete appeal, which won’t happen until late 2024 at the earliest, after the main case has been dispensed with. I predict she denies it, and then when she denies it, they have to wait for a full appeal , which, after the case, would be sometime in late 2024, which would take another 18 months, which w
