The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has removed cryptocurrency from its 2026 examination priorities, indicating it no longer views crypto as a top risk area. The new focus shifts to fiduciary duty, cybersecurity, and customer protection. While crypto isnโt a separate priority, the SEC remains watchful, reminding firms to maintain compliance amid evolving regulations. This change reflects a softer regulatory stance that could encourage growth but signals ongoing scrutiny in broader risk areas.
