The largest cryptocurrency in the world gained 2.37% in the past seven days.\u00a0<\/p>\n Ether strengthened 2.3% to US$1,623 but slipped 0.73% on the week.<\/p>\n \u201cThese positive sentiments came amid more regulatory battles in the United States between regulatory bodies and those working in the field of cryptocurrencies and their various applications,\u201d said Samer Hasn, market analyst at multi-asset brokerage firm XS.com.<\/p>\n The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) imposed<\/a> a fine of US$1 million on the makers of Stoner Cats 2 non-fungible tokens (NFT) and its accompanying web series on charges of offering and selling unregistered securities as NFTs.<\/p>\n Stoner Cats 2 has accepted the regulator\u2019s cease-and-desist order and agreed to the US$1 million civil penalty.<\/p>\n \u201cA settlement to avoid a crushing SEC process without \u2018admitting or denying\u2019 anything is binding on no one. A cynic would call it a PR stunt. What matters is that when seriously challenged in court, the SEC continues to lose,\u201d Stuart Alderoty, chief legal officer of Ripple, said<\/a> on X (formerly Twitter).\u00a0<\/p>\n Ripple is also fighting its own battle against the SEC. In July, a summary judgment by Judge Torres ruled<\/a> that Ripple\u2019s XRP sales to institutional investors violated securities laws, but sales on public exchanges to retail investors did not. However, the SEC submitted a filing last Friday that pushed the court of the Southern District of New York to appeal its ruling on the agency\u2019s lawsuit against Ripple Labs.<\/p>\n The SEC requested the court review its prior ruling by Judge Analisa Torres, which posed \u201cknotty legal problems,\u201d according to the filing<\/a>.<\/p>\n Another SEC filing, another hypocritical pivot\u2026<\/p>\n After years of its chairman saying the \u201crules are clear and must be obeyed\u201d the SEC now cries that an appeal is urgently needed to resolve these \u201cknotty legal problems.” https:\/\/t.co\/ige4neIWRD<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Stuart Alderoty (@s_alderoty) September 8, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Ripple\u2019s XRP token gained 1.23% to US$0.4816, but weakened 3.72% in the past seven days.\u00a0<\/p>\n Solana was the day\u2019s biggest gainer, rising 5.02% to US$18.81, but lost 3.86% on the week. Global payments giant Visa wrote<\/a> in a Tuesday research report that Solana blockchain \u201chas attributes like high transaction throughput and scalability at low cost that help make it a good candidate for payments and Visa\u2019s stablecoin settlement pilot.\u201d It announced a partnership<\/a> with Solana on Sept. 5 to expand its USDC stablecoin settlement pilot to Solana\u2019s blockchain.<\/p>\n The total crypto market capitalization rose 1.56% to 1.05 trillion while market volume dropped 12.87% to US$27.96 billion.<\/p>\n Bitcoin gained in Thursday afternoon trade in Asia.
