The SEC, known for its stern gaze and iron-clad regulations, has set its sights on the crypto frontier. Project Crypto is their latest endeavor, a grand plan to bring order to the wild west of digital currencies. For XRP and SOL, this means navigating a sea of legal questions and market volatility.

The wider digital asset universe wasn’t spared either, with an impressive wave of liquidations—$863.61 million worth of traders trying to hold onto their shirts, but mostly their wallets.
