Episode 6 – The Crypto Reckoning: SEC’s 2025 Pivot From Crackdowns to Clarity

For years, the SEC’s stance on crypto was defined by lawsuits, fines, and hostility. But in 2025, everything changed. With Paul Atkins stepping in as SEC Chair and Hester Pierce leading a new Crypto Task Force, the agency shifted from enforcement-first to guidance and engagement.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why the SEC dropped its lawsuit against Coinbase and cut Ripple’s penalties
• How Project Crypto is modernizing securities law for blockchain
• Game-changing approvals like in-kind ETF creations and staking inside ETFs
• The Genius Act proposal and its push for stablecoin transparency
• What this pivot means for investors, institutions, and crypto’s future

This isn’t just an XRP story — it’s the start of a new chapter for the entire digital asset ecosystem.
