\"Ex-SEC<\/p>\n

SEC Commissioner Mark Uyeda said that the agency dropped many cases against crypto companies in early 2025 to avoid potential credibility problems in court.<\/p>\n

Mark Uyeda, who served as acting chair of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) before Paul Atkins\u2019s confirmation, said the agency dropped civil cases against cryptocurrency companies filed under the previous administration because it was preparing a \u201c180-degree change\u201d in rulemaking.<\/p>\n

In a Wednesday panel at the Psaros Center for Financial Markets and Policy\u2019s Financial Markets Quality Conference, Uyeda said<\/a> the SEC dropped cases involving crypto companies in early 2025 as it could have hurt the agency\u2019s credibility in arguing positions in court contrary to its planned policy changes. Uyeda argued that there had been \u201csignificant concerns\u201d that the cases against crypto companies were \u201cjustifiable under law.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not about to have our litigators, even though they\u2019re having cases that were authorized under the prior administration, stand up in court and have a commission interpretation be issued that is a 180-degree change from what they\u2019d been arguing for that court,\u201d said the commissioner. \u201cI think that hurts [our] credibility as an agency.\u201d<\/p>\n
