Litigation Release No. 26276 / March 27, 2025

Securities and Exchange Commission v. Cumberland DRW LLC, No. 1:24-cv-09842 (N.D. Ill. filed Oct. 10, 2024)

SEC Announces Dismissal of Civil Enforcement Action Against Cumberland

The Securities and Exchange Commission today filed a joint stipulation with Cumberland DRW LLC to dismiss, with prejudice, the Commission’s ongoing civil enforcement action against it.

The Commission’s decision to exercise its discretion and dismiss this pending enforcement action rests on its judgment that the dismissal will facilitate the Commission’s ongoing efforts to reform and renew its regulatory approach to the crypto industry, not on any assessment of the merits of the claims alleged in the action. Furthermore, as stated in the joint stipulation, “the Commission’s decision to seek dismissal of this Litigation does not necessarily reflect the Commission’s position on any other case.”
