Golden Finance reported that the terms involved in blockchain in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings reached an all-time high in February, with more than 5,000 related mentions recorded by the EDGAR database, showing a continuous upward trend since mid-2023.
This growth is consistent with a significant shift in the SEC's regulatory attitude towards the crypto industry. Since the presidential change in January, Acting Chairman Mark Uyeda took office, the SEC has terminated multiple investigations against companies such as Uniswap, Coinbase, Yuga Labs, Kraken and Gemini, marking a different adjustment from the "law enforcement and supervision" strategy during the period of former chairman Gary Gensler. In addition, Uyeda's crypto task force, led by Hester Peirce, a committee member who supports the crypto industry, plans to hold its first round table this month to explore a more collaborative regulatory model.
