The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is shifting its focus from extensive cryptocurrency enforcement to traditional regulatory concerns.
The SEC will prioritize insider trading, accounting fraud, and retail investor protection, aligning with its standard regulatory framework.
The agency will require commission approval for formal crypto investigations, signaling a tighter control on enforcement activities in the crypto space.
The confirmation of Paul Atkins as SEC Chair is expected to reshape U.S. crypto regulation towards a softer and less aggressive approach.
