Успех Zcash Foundation: SEC закрывает дело против организации Translation: Zcash Foundations Triumph: SEC Closes Case Against Organization

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has closed its case against the non-profit organization known as the Zcash Foundation, which is responsible for the development of the privacy-focused cryptocurrency.

*“We are pleased to announce that the SEC has completed its investigation and officially informed us that it sees no reason to initiate enforcement actions or impose sanctions against the Zcash Foundation,”* stated representatives of the organization.

The Foundation received a subpoena in August 2023 as part of a broader inquiry into certain cryptocurrency offerings.

The SEC’s decision reflects a shift in stance under President Donald Trump’s administration. Over the past year, the agency has closed dozens of cases against major crypto companies like Coinbase and Ripple, as well as ceased investigations into several DeFi protocols.

In the last 24 hours, the price of ZEC has increased by 3.7%. At the time of writing, the asset is trading at approximately $432.

The news of the case closure emerged amid an ongoing corporate conflict within Zcash. In early January, the entire team from the Electric Coin Company (ECC), the main developer of the cryptocurrency, *abruptly left* the company due to a conflict.

This incident negatively impacted the asset’s rates, allowing Monero to *regain* its lead in the privacy coin sector.

The Algorand Foundation announced its relocation to the United States with a new board of directors. Previously, the organization was based in Singapore.

*“We are doubling down on efforts where blockchain can provide the greatest benefits: instant global payments, expanding access to financial products, and enhancing economic resilience,”* stated the organization’s CEO, Stacy Warden.

The Foundation will also establish an ecosystem advisory council comprising stakeholders, developers, and other participants from the Algorand network.

In mid-December, the Jito Foundation also announced its return to the U.S. Its CEO, Lukas Bruder, explained the decision as a “180-degree turnaround” in the country’s approach to the crypto industry following Trump’s inauguration.

*“With a more constructive approach towards innovation, focused on clear laws and safeguards for consumers and market participants, crypto operations, projects, and businesses can and should return to work in the U.S.,”* he wrote.

It’s worth noting that in October 2025, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino confirmed the timelines for the company’s entry into the American market, announcing the launch of a stablecoin designed for the U.S.

In November, the prediction platform Polymarket resumed operations in the U.S. in beta mode.
