SEC Signals Continued Enforcement in Cryptocurrency Despite Reduced Actions

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced a shift in its approach to cryptocurrency regulation, dropping several high-profile lawsuits against firms like Coinbase, Uniswap, and OpenSea. However, SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce clarified that this does not signal an easing of enforcement efforts. The new leadership under Gary Gensler is implementing a more targeted strategy for the crypto industry, prioritizing clear violations over blanket regulatory approaches.
