US regulators are showing signs of softening their stance on cryptocurrency, as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) dismissed its lawsuit against Coinbase. The lawsuit, accusing the exchange of operating as an unregistered securities broker, was a central issue in the ongoing regulatory conflict between crypto companies and US authorities.

Coinbase's victory comes after a period of intense scrutiny under the previous administration. At the same time, XRP has seen a sharp decline of nearly 21.7% in the last 30 days, despite growing speculation about its future, according to Coingape.

US Shifts Crypto Stance Amid Regulatory Changes

In another development, Robinhood Crypto emerged from a lengthy SEC investigation without facing enforcement action, signalling a shift in the regulatory treatment of digital assets.

While there has been increasing discussion about a potential US XRP Reserve and comments from US President Donald Trump on Truth Social, the appointment of pro-crypto leaders like Howard Lutnick to key positions and the establishment of a crypto task force under the SEC suggest an evolving stance toward cryptocurrency.

XRPUSD Breaks Support, Selling Pressure Rises

The XRPUSD H1 chart indicates a prolonged bearish trend. The 2.75000 level has been acting as resistance. Along the way, the price made several significant breakouts, with the breakout at 2.50000 being particularly important. This level has also acted as resistance on intraday charts, reinforcing the bearish outlook on shorter timeframes.

A bearish trendline is visible on the H1 chart, further supporting the downward momentum. These resistance levels have intensified intraday selling pressure among traders.
