Episode 55: Sunshine and Rainbows…from the SEC

Episode 55: Sunshine and Rainbows…from the SEC.

Just a couple short weeks ago I told you all about President Trump’s executive order on crypto, which was heavy on happy speak and light on substance.

Of course, literally as I was recording that episode, the SEC started putting its money where its mouth is. Indeed, since I started speaking into that mic a couple weeks ago the SEC has: Repealed SAB 121, restarted its crypto task force, paused the suit against Binance, and straight-up dropped lawsuits or investigations into Coinbase, RobinHood, OpenSea and Uniswap (among other things).

Don’t be alarmed, this lightning pace won’t scare away the sunshine and rainbows. It's a new day in the SEC’s approach to crypto, so break out the popcorn and get comfortable. It’s shaping up to be a fun few years.

Key Points From This Episode:

Quick rundown of recent SEC actions.
Deep dive into the SEC’s crypto task force and what it plans to do.
Description of why these developments promote the SEC’s mission.
Soapbox moment.
Reminiscing about Whac a Mole.
