The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has taken legal action against Nova Labs, alleging deceptive claims about partnerships with major corporations such as Salesforce, Lime, and Nestlé. The lawsuit asserts that Nova Labs defrauded customers and breached federal securities regulations related to their "Hotspot" devices and the Helium cryptocurrency. Despite this, Helium's HNT token has seen a 10% increase in price, and the lawsuit hasn't impacted its performance. SEC Chair Gary Gensler, known for a tough stance on crypto enforcement, is stepping down, potentially leading to a shift in the agency's approach. The incoming administration, led by President-elect Donald Trump, is expected to pursue pro-crypto policies, including the proposed Bitcoin National Reserve. This legal action marks one of Gensler's final acts before stepping down. However, the future of crypto regulation may evolve under the new administration, with potential implications for digital assets.
