What’s the Scoop?

  • Rebranding Initiative: The SEC has renamed from 'Crypto Assets and Cyber Unit' to 'Cyber and Emerging Technologies Unit', indicating a shift away from an aggressive stance specifically targeting crypto.
  • Leadership Change: Acting Chairman Mark Uyeda, appointed by former President Trump, has shifted the focus towards facilitating innovation while continuing to protect investors.
  • Crypto Task Force: A new 'Crypto Task Force' has been formed under Republican Commissioner Hester Peirce, tasked with addressing fraud involving blockchain and crypto assets.
