SEC De-emphasizes Crypto Oversight in 2026 Exam Priorities

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has changed its focus for examining Wall Street firms in 2026.

This year, they won't be emphasizing the oversight of companies offering crypto asset-related services.

Instead, they'll focus on things like making sure companies act in their clients' best interest, protecting customer data, and how assets are stored.

This change might make the crypto industry happy, as they see it as a positive sign.
