FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel on Wednesday announced plans to vote on rules restoring net neutrality. The vote, set for April 25, would reinstate 2015 internet rules adopted under President Obama that were subsequently repealed by President Trump’s FCC two years later. The official added that ongoing national security threats have further highlighted the need for strong oversight. Net neutrality has the rare chance to receive widespread bipartisan support.

Coinbase advocates for dismissal of SEC’s allegations of securities violation

Coinbase, one of the largest crypto exchanges globally, bit back on Wednesday during a hearing to decide whether it committed securities violations. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed the suit in June 2023, just one day after it sued Binance, the largest crypto exchange by volume, over securities matters. In the SEC’s claims against Coinbase, it also alleged that the 13 cryptocurrencies available for trading on the exchange were securities. Although separate, the Binance suit also had 12 crypto assets mentioned as securities. The judge requested that the securities-focused agency explain what elements of crypto assets constitute investment contracts.
