[U.S. SEC Grants Temporary Exemption to 'Regulation NMS,' Setting Enforcement Suspension Precedent for Exchanges] On October 31, the U.S. SEC granted temporary exemptions for certain compliance dates under 'Regulation NMS' (National Market System Rules). This exemption order sets a precedent for exchanges, indicating that enforcement actions should be suspended when rules are undergoing changes and regulators are unable to provide clear guidance, until practical standards are established by the regulatory body. The announcement mentioned funding interruptions and the need to 'facilitate orderly market operations' after the court rejected a request for a stay of execution. Cryptocurrency exchanges such as Coinbase, Kraken, and Binance may potentially apply the same logic.
