![SEC Intensifies Actions: Robinhood and Grayscale Under Scrutiny](http://media.assettype.com/crypto-insider%2F2024-05%2F7f43a4d8-91d8-4d0f-9527-7b5b92b0154d%2Fimg19.webp?rect=0%2C0%2C1792%2C1008&w=480&auto=format%2Ccompress&fit=max)
This week, the SEC issued a Wells notice to Robinhood, indicating potential enforcement actions for alleged securities violations concerning cryptocurrency listings and custodian services. Robinhood, like Coinbase and Kraken before it, disputes the SEC's claims and criticizes the lack of clear federal guidelines. Meanwhile, Grayscale has withdrawn its application for an Ethereum futures ETF, just weeks before the SEC’s decision deadline. This decision likely reflects Grayscale's strategic pivot towards pushing for a spot Ether ETF approval. Additionally, Coincheck advances towards a Nasdaq listing through a merger, aiming to enhance its market position despite past market downturns influenced by regulatory challenges.
