The SEC seems to bring about 2 or 3 crypto enforcement actions per month.[1] They're still working down the ICO backlog. Mostly they've been going after issuers and out and out theft.

After FTX, political support for crypto deregulation dropped to near zero. FTX, remember, was lobbying for a bill that would allow all the things for which Kraken is now in trouble. That is going absolutely nowhere now.

And legal fees?


I have been waiting for them to go after the YouTuber Tech Lead. It will probably take a while.
