SEC Cryptocurrency Case Handling Approach Shift: From Strict to Lenient Regulation Data Comparison
【Chain Wen】According to the latest reports, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has shown a clear policy shift in handling cryptocurrency-related cases. Data indicates that over 60% of the cryptocurrency cases currently being handled by the SEC have been resolved with leniency—through measures such as suspending litigation, reducing penalties, or outright dismissals.
A comparison of data across three different periods highlights the scale of this change. During Biden’s term, the SEC filed a total of 105 cryptocurrency cases; during Trump’s first term, 50 cases; and during Trump’s second term, no new cryptocurrency cases were filed. This change is not isolated—when handling cases inherited from the previous administration, the SEC’s dismissal rate for cryptocurrency-related lawsuits reached 33%, compared to only 4% for cases in other industries.
More specifically, the SEC has handled 23 cryptocurrency cases (of which 21 are from the previous administration and 2 from the prior term), with 14 already withdrawn. Notably, 8 of these withdrawals involved defendants with business ties to specific political figures or their families.
An insider from the SEC stated publicly that the decision to dismiss cases aims to correct previous errors and is not directly related to political or financial considerations. Regardless, this shift has already attracted widespread attention within the cryptocurrency industry—market participants need to adapt to this new regulatory environment.

During Biden's term, 105 cases, while Trump’s side just clears everything... the gap is huge, regulatory agencies are really changing people and ideas
---
60% lenient handling? Feels like the crypto winter is coming to an end?
---
33% withdrawal rate vs 4%, this is really two different standards for us and other industries
---
I just want to know what happened to the projects prosecuted during Biden's term, do they also deserve to be exonerated?
---
Being unreasonable when aggressive, and also unreasonable when relaxed, this stark contrast is really speechless
---
What does zero new cases mean, is it really not being investigated or just being left alone?
---
Why does this data feel like promoting "crypto-friendly," should all major coins rebound?
---
Such a quick turnaround, who will apologize to the project teams tortured by wrongful cases?
---
SEC: I was just acting before, everyone continue
Hurry up and get back all the frozen coins, brothers
105 to 0? That's almost like an admission of surrender... But seriously, can it be overturned
It should have been like this earlier, that previous approach was really ridiculous
Let's see who can profit from this wave
No, why is their withdrawal rate so high? I really can't understand the logic
Now it's good, I can safely buy the dip
Wait, is this really a release, or are they brewing some new move?
By the way, during Biden's era, they really went all out, now it's a complete reversal
I just want to know if those fined can get their money back...
Fellow human relations, this is politics
The turnaround was so fast that no one reacted, this year the crypto world is really lucky
The SEC's move is quite calculated; they started at 105 and now are directly liquidating their positions.
Finally, I don't have to watch litigation news every day; this feels so great.
Political trends are like this, the way to harvest the chives just changes routines.
The withdrawal rate has soared from 4% to 33%, the absurdity is a bit obvious, brothers.
Biden's recent blitz was really overwhelming; now someone is providing a safety net.
It's time to go long now, everyone, the opportunity has arrived.
Really? The withdrawal rate difference between 33% and 4% is huge. Felt like all the previous effort was for nothing.
Alright, it seems like the crypto world is about to turn around? But I still find it hard to believe...
Wait, Trump is coming into office and not prosecuting new cases? Is this true, brother?
60% leniency in handling, the policy shift is so quick, I'm a bit scared.
Hold on, does that mean the projects that were previously criticized might have a chance now?
Is this data real? Feels like I'm about to get cut again.
Only 2 new cases? Then the SEC is really slacking off, huh.
---
60% leniency treatment, this data looks outrageous; could it really be that the crypto ecosystem is being left unchecked?
---
From 105 to 0 new cases, I just want to know what those dismissed projects are laughing about now.
---
This policy is swings and roundabouts; retail investors like us are the ones suffering the most. Regulators have long understood how the rules are changing.
---
A 33% withdrawal rate vs 4%, the difference is too obvious. Where's the promised fair enforcement?
---
Trump immediately stopped filing new cases, which is a bit harsh, but I have no objections.
---
Wait, is it really time to embrace crypto? Or is it just a temporary lull? Can someone interpret this?
---
I knew why project teams have been getting bolder recently; it turns out the regulators have truly taken a break.
Really, a policy change can cause a major upheaval... These data comparisons are incredible.
Withdrawal rate of 33%? That’s just talking.
It feels like those cases before were just randomly filed, and now we’re only realizing it.
Crypto has tricked so many people, and this is the result?
But on the other hand, this is indeed good news for the crypto圈, and it might be a short-term hype.
SEC’s attitude shifted so quickly, it’s a bit outrageous.
So Biden’s crackdown back then was really serious, and now it’s "settled"?
Looks like we have to follow the trend — as soon as the wind shifts, everything changes.
