Jinse Finance reported that a judge in Washington, D.C., ruled on Tuesday that Alphabet's Google (GOOGL.O) must share data with competitors and open up competition in the online search market, while rejecting prosecutors' request for Google to sell its Chrome browser. In addition, Google is not required to divest its Android operating system. Google also plans to go to trial in September to respond to another lawsuit from the U.S. Department of Justice, in which the judge has already ruled that Google holds an illegal monopoly in the online advertising technology sector, and remedies will be determined at that time. The two lawsuits filed by the U.S. Department of Justice against Google are part of a broad bipartisan crackdown on major tech companies in the U.S., which began during President Trump's first term and involves Meta Platforms, Amazon, and Apple. After the ruling was announced, Google's U.S. shares rose 6% after hours, and Apple rose 4%.

Jinse Finance reported that staff from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) have just issued a joint statement, clearly stating that exchanges registered with the SEC and CFTC are not prohibited from offering trading of certain spot crypto asset products. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins said: "Market participants should have the freedom to choose where to trade spot crypto assets." CFTC Acting Chair Caroline Pham stated: "During the previous administration, our agencies sent confusing signals regarding regulation and compliance in the digital asset markets, but the message was clear: innovation was unwelcome. That chapter is now over." This move marks an important step forward for the two agencies' 'Project Crypto' and 'Crypto Sprint' initiatives, aiming to coordinate regulation while expanding the choices and flexibility of trading venues for U.S. market participants.
