DeFi lobby drops airdrop lawsuit against SEC, citing crypto shift
Texas-based apparel company Beba and crypto lobby group DeFi Education Fund have withdrawn a 2024 lawsuit against the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over its approach to airdrops, citing a recent shift in the regulator’s approach to crypto.

Beba launched a free token airdrop in March 2024 and, together with the DeFi Education Fund, filed a pre-enforcement challenge against the SEC that year.

The lawsuit alleged the regulator had adopted its digital asset enforcement policy without a formal notice-and-comment rulemaking process, in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act.

The voluntary dismissal, filed in the US District Court for the Western District of Texas on Friday, cites the SEC Crypto Task Force’s work and statements by Commissioner Hester Peirce in several speeches last year suggesting airdropped tokens are not securities.

The filing also flags Peirce’s suggestion in May that the SEC is considering an exemption framework for airdrops, and a White House executive action from January encouraging the regulator to establish a “safe harbor for certain airdrops.”

“Given the good work done by the SEC Crypto Task Force and recent speeches that suggest a change in the Commission’s position regarding free airdrops, we decided continuing was unnecessary for the time being and we can re-file if we need to later on,” the DeFi Education Fund said in an X post on Friday.

“The DEF team expects that the SEC Crypto Task Force will address airdrops soon—the foundational issue at hand in this lawsuit,” it added.

Case dismissed without prejudice, for now

The dismissal was filed without prejudice, preserving Beba’s and the DeFi Education Fund’s right to refile if needed.

“Should the expected guidance fail to materialize or be insufficient, Plaintiffs preserve their right to refile their claims,” lawyers acting for the pair wrote in the court document.

A Transnational Crypto Deal
Incumbents are keen not to be left behind on the crypto curve, so much so that some of them are now joining forces.

By teaming up, the two lenders aim to turn stablecoins and other digital assets into a new growth engine alongside their existing international banking business.

Air freight prices are rising sharply, by as much as 82% on some routes, according to figures from Israeli company (Nasdaq: CRGO), which monitors air and sea shipping prices. The rise is attributed to the rising cost of jet fuel and to the partial closure of the major airports of Dubai and Doha. The price rises are mainly affecting shipments of drugs from India, electrical and electronic products, and the fashion and clothing industry.Iran’s closure of the Straits of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world’s oil supplies pass in normal times, has caused the price of oil to jump. Consequently, the price of jet fuel has risen by 83% within a month, and by 94% in comparison with last year, according to reports by IATA (the International Air Transport Association).In addition, the global air freight industry is under operational pressures. In recent years, the Gulf states have established themselves as a hub for flights and trade between Europe and Asia, particularly Dubai in the UAE and Doha in Qatar. Iranian UAVs have hit Dubai Airport, leading the Australian government to issue a warning against travel to Dubai, including for connecting flights. Hamad International Airport in Doha is also operating on a restricted schedule.The combination of these factors has led to a steep rise in air freight prices on all routes. On some the situation is very severe: flights from South Asia to Europe that fly directly above the Persian Gulf have become 82% more costly than before the war, and flights from South Asia to North America have also risen in price, to $6.42 per kilogram, which compares with $4.05 per kilogram before the war. Prices on the air route from Europe to the Middle East have also risen lately, by 55%. All the figures are from Freightos.According to Freightos head of research Judah Levine many air freight routes have

After WLF’s Latest 10% Price Hike, Is More Upside Ahead?
WLF has captured fresh market attention following its latest 10% price surge, signaling renewed bullish momentum and growing investor interest. This sharp move comes at a time when the broader crypto market is showing early signs of recovery, adding further strength to WLF’s breakout narrative.
The recent price hike appears to be driven by a combination of rising trading volume, increased social sentiment, and potential accumulation by larger holders. Such a move often indicates that market participants are positioning themselves ahead of a possible extended rally, especially if key resistance levels are broken in the near term.
Technical indicators suggest that WLF is entering a short-term bullish phase, with momentum favoring buyers. If the current trend continues, the token could test higher price zones, attracting even more attention from both retail traders and speculative investors looking for quick gains.
At the same time, the broader influence of major assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum remains crucial. A stable or upward move in these leading cryptocurrencies could further support WLF’s momentum, while any sudden market pullback might slow its rally.
Investors are now closely watching whether this 10% surge is the beginning of a sustained uptrend or simply a short-term spike driven by hype and market speculation. Key factors such as continued volume growth, ecosystem developments, and overall market conditions will play a decisive role in determining the next move.
For now, WLF stands out as one of the notable gainers, reinforcing the idea that selective altcoins can still deliver strong performance even in uncertain market environments.

The surge in Zcash (ZEC) was likely triggered by the $25 million funding round it secured a few days ago, boosting confidence in its growth. It also reflects strong investor confidence in its increasing global adoption. After a slight correction from previous highs, the asset is currently trending upwards, up 12.51%.

As of press time, Zcash is trading in the $266.43 range, with a market capitalization of approximately $4.42 billion. Furthermore, according to CoinMarketCap, ZEC's daily trading volume has increased by over 72.59%, reaching $721.17 million.

Zooming in on the 4-hour chart of the ZEC/USDT pair, bulls are in control, pushing the price to the resistance level of approximately $274.38. Further upward pressure could trigger a golden cross, with strong bullish momentum pushing the price above $282.56.

Conversely, if Zcash's upward momentum reverses, the price could immediately pull back and look for the nearest support level at $258.31.  If the downward correction continues, it could trigger a death cross, and strong bearish forces could push prices further down to below $250.

Zcash Indicator Turns Bullish: Can the Uptrend Continue?

Technical analysis shows the MACD line is above the signal line, indicating that bullish momentum is building. Notably, Zcash's price action is strengthening; if the gap between the two lines continues to widen, the uptrend will gain more momentum.

Furthermore, ZEC's CMF indicator is at 0.13, indicating moderate buying pressure. It's worth noting that funds are flowing into, not out of, the asset, with buyers actively supporting the price movement. This reflects stable accumulation and positive market sentiment.

Zcash's daily RSI is 73.15, indicating it's overbought. Prices have risen strongly, and buyers are firmly in control. While momentum could continue to rise if the tre
