SEC ’eased up on’ 60% of crypto enforcement cases under Trump: Report
The financial regulator dropped several cases against crypto companies in 2025, and is reportedly “no longer actively pursuing a single case against a firm with known Trump ties.”
The US Securities and Exchange Commission has dismissed cryptocurrency cases under the Trump administration at a significantly higher rate than those involving other aspects of securities laws.
According to a Sunday report from The New York Times, since US President Donald Trump took office in January, the SEC has paused, dropped investigations related to or dismissed about 60% of cases involving companies and projects in the cryptocurrency industry. The report cited high-profile cases, including the SEC’s lawsuits against Ripple Labs and Binance, adding that the financial regulator was “no longer actively pursuing a single case against a firm with known Trump ties.”
The SEC told The New York Times that political favoritism had “nothing to do” with its crypto enforcement strategy, and the shift to dismiss investigations and cases was for legal and policy reasons. The news outlet also noted that it had found no evidence suggesting that Trump had pressured the agency to drop investigations or cases.
