The SEC added crypto again to its list of priorities to examine next year, despite potential changes in government leadership and oversight.
In a notice released on October 21, the SEC's Division of Examinations outlined its priorities for 2025, with a particular focus on crypto assets and associated products and services.
This includes activities such as offering, selling, recommending, advising and trading crypto assets, with specific mention of Bitcoin and Ether spot exchange-traded products.
Given the volatility and activity in the crypto markets, the SEC will continue to monitor and possibly conduct examinations of registrants offering cryptocurrency-related services.
