Binance’s BNB token emerged as the top performer among them. On the other hand, The Open Network’s (TON) Toncoin experienced a downturn, making it the least successful cryptocurrency during this period.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced on Tuesday that it will extend the review period for the proposed rule change. This extension will allow the Commission to thoroughly examine the proposal and address any issues that may arise. The SEC has set a new deadline of January 10, 2024, by which it will either approve or disapprove the proposed rule change.

The majority of the top 10 non-stablecoin cryptocurrencies experienced a decline over the past 24 hours, with Ether, BNB, and Tron being the notable exceptions. Ether saw an increase of 2.30% to $1,620.87, despite a 2.68% decrease over the past week.
