As reported by TheMarketPeriodical, enforcement actions by the US SEC against public companies and their subsidiaries fell by 30% in the 2025 financial year, with only 56 cases initiated compared to 80 in 2024. The decline is attributed to the change in SEC leadership and a shift in enforcement priorities. The new administration, under Chair Paul Atkins, has emphasized regulatory clarity and investor protection, with a reduced focus on enforcement. The SEC also saw a record high in standalone enforcement actions in Q1 2025, though only 25% of these were against public companies. The agency’s settlements and disgorgement amounts were also at historic lows. Meanwhile, the SEC has taken a more pro-crypto stance, issuing guidance on staking, memecoins, and ETFs, and hosting industry roundtables. Analysts suggest the next 12 months will be pivotal for the SEC in shaping its regulatory approach to the crypto industry.
