It seems strange now, but the Ripple case preceded former President Joe Biden and Gensler. It came in the last months of the first Trump administration when Jay Clayton was still SEC chair. For a while, this made it an oddity. In the quaint pre-FTX days when Gensler was perceived as a “pro-crypto” commissioner, XRP remained an odd pariah for years. In regulatory limbo, the token was unavailable on many US centralized exchanges and so missed the boom years of 2021 and 2022.

Then, in December 2020, the Ripple complaint came as a shot across the bow of the crypto establishment. The allegation that Ripple’s sales of the token XRP was a “years-long unregistered offering of securities” would form the playbook for all subsequent SEC enforcement actions.

The Ripple case is one of the oldest and most influential in crypto. Back in the 2010s, when crypto law was still young, the SEC was just dipping its toes into enforcement. It started with “The DAO Report,” a seminal document initially applying the now-famous Howey test to cryptocurrency.

However, the CEO cautioned that this is “a very selective alt season” where “[o]nly a few coins are pumping” due to a lack of “fresh liquidity” entering the crypto market.

Currently, Ledger’s baseline offerings — the Nano series — are the company’s best-selling product line. However, the company has also been focusing on offering high-end touchscreen devices, such as Ledger Flex and Ledger Stax, to users eyeing self-sovereignty and financial freedom.

As of 2024, Ledger had sold over seven million hardware wallets, none of which have ever been hacked, the company claims.

On Dec. 3, Yoon Suk Yeol, president of South Korea, declared martial law during a televised address in response to rising political tensions. The resultant panic in the financial and cryptocurrency markets led to a surge in user activity on local exchanges, according to a Yonhap news report.

Upbit, which usually has 100,000 concurrent users, had to cater to 1.1 million users after the martial law declaration. Other crypto exchanges, Bithumb and Coinone, also recorded more than 500,000 users each on the same day.

Due to the unexpected demand, the exchanges faced difficulties managing the user load, leading to downtime. While Upbit experienced 99 minutes of downtime, Bithumb and Coinone trading services were impacted for 62 minutes and 40 minutes, respectively.

On Jan. 23, Trump established an “internal working group to make America the world capital in crypto” through an executive order. The group is tasked with studying the feasibility of a national crypto reserve and making a crypto regulatory framework. It also bans the creation of a central bank digital currency.

Uyeda has criticized the SEC’s enforcement under Gensler, saying it “neither facilitates capital formation nor protects investors.”
