Kraken says US SEC to dismiss lawsuit against the cryptocurrency exchange

NEW YORK (Reuters) -Kraken, one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges, said on Monday the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission agreed in principle to dismiss a civil lawsuit accusing it of operating illegally as an unregistered securities exchange. In a statement on its blog, Kraken called the dismissal a turning point for cryptocurrency that ended a "wasteful, politically motivated campaign" begun during the Biden administration, and which stifled innovation and investment. Kraken said the dismissal includes no admission of wrongdoing, no penalties, and no changes to its business.
