Coinbase and Ripple Highlight Latest Crypto Headlines: Delistings, SEC Inquiry, India Evolves its Crypto stance

This week’s crypto news roundup brings us the latest developments from Coinbase, Ripple, and India. Coinbase is planning to delist four cryptocurrencies – Render (RNDR), Ribbon Finance (RBN), Helium Mobile (MOBILE), and Synapse (SYN) – in June 2025. These moves are driven by updates that no longer meet the exchange’s listing criteria. Meanwhile, Ripple has submitted a letter to the SEC’s Crypto Task Force seeking clarity on when digital assets lose their “security” status. Ripple argues that most fungible crypto assets operate independently of investment contracts when traded on secondary markets. In India, there’s been a shift in stance toward cryptocurrencies, with increased meetings between the government and industry leaders to explore potential tax cuts following a similar move by the U.S. This news comes as India navigates its regulatory landscape for cryptocurrency, which has seen significant development despite earlier attempts at complete bans.
