On Monday, Bitcoin experienced a notable recovery, climbing by 5% compared to its low points from the previous week. Alongside Bitcoin, several other digital assets also saw sharp price increases. These developments appear to be linked with recent statements from former U.S. President Donald Trump regarding the inclusion of select cryptocurrencies in a new strategic reserve.

In a significant regulatory shift, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Thursday filed a motion to dismiss its lawsuit against Coinbase $COIN, the nation's largest cryptocurrency exchange. This move marks a departure from the original aggressive enforcement stance taken during the presidency of Donald Trump. In 2023, the SEC initiated legal action against Coinbase, asserting that the exchange facilitated the trading of at least 13 cryptocurrencies that, according to the regulator, should have been registered as securities.
