U.S. SEC Ends Four-Year Investigation Into Aave Amid Ongoing DAO Saga

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has ended its 4-year investigation into Aave Protocol, a development which comes as Aave Labs clashes with DAO members over the CoW swap fees. The AAVE price remained largely unchanged despite this development, which confirms that the token is not a security.

SEC Drops Investigation Into Aave Protocol

In an X post, Aave’s founder, Stani Kulechov, revealed that the SEC has concluded its investigation into the DeFi protocol after four years. He highlighted how the process demanded significant effort and resources from their team to protect the top DeFi protocol, its ecosystem, and DeFi as a whole.

Kulechov further remarked that DeFi has faced regulatory pressure in recent years and that they are just glad to put the SEC investigation behind them as they enter a new era where developers can truly build the future of finance. “DeFi will win,” he added.

The SEC’s notice to the DeFi protocol showed that the SEC’s Division of Enforcement doesn’t intend to recommend any enforcement action against the DeFi protocol. Meanwhile, the AAVE price remained tepid on the back of this development.

TradingView data shows the DeFi token is trading at around $188, down almost 3% in the last 24 hours. The token had dropped to as low as $185 on the day amid the recent crypto market crash.

Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny

The post Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The cryptocurrency world is buzzing with a recent controversy surrounding a bold OpenVPP partnership claim. This week, OpenVPP (OVPP) announced what it presented as a significant collaboration with the U.S. government in the innovative field of energy tokenization. However, this claim quickly drew the sharp eye of on-chain analyst ZachXBT, who highlighted a swift and official rebuttal that has sent ripples through the digital asset community. What Sparked the OpenVPP Partnership Claim Controversy? The core of the issue revolves around OpenVPP’s assertion of a U.S. government partnership. This kind of collaboration would typically be a monumental endorsement for any private cryptocurrency project, especially given the current regulatory climate. Such a partnership could signify a new era of mainstream adoption and legitimacy for energy tokenization initiatives. OpenVPP initially claimed cooperation with the U.S. government. This alleged partnership was said to be in the domain of energy tokenization. The announcement generated considerable interest and discussion online. ZachXBT, known for his diligent on-chain investigations, was quick to flag the development. He brought attention to the fact that U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Commissioner Hester Peirce had directly addressed the OpenVPP partnership claim. Her response, delivered within hours, was unequivocal and starkly contradicted OpenVPP’s narrative. How Did Regulatory Authorities Respond to the OpenVPP Partnership Claim? Commissioner Hester Peirce’s statement was a crucial turning point in this unfolding story. She clearly stated that the SEC, as an agency, does not engage in partnerships with private cryptocurrency projects.

Peirce’s swift clarification underscores a fundamental principle of regulatory bodies: maintaining impartiality and avoiding endorsements of private entities. Her statement serves as a vital reminder to the crypto community about the official stance of government agencies concerning private ventures. Moreover, ZachXBT’s analysis…
