SEC Staff Reviews Past Crypto Guidance for Regulatory Alignment

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is reviewing past crypto-related guidance to align with current priorities, as stated by acting chairman Mark Uyeda on social media.

Key documents under review include the SEC's statement on funds registered under the Investment Company Act related to bitcoin futures.
Other topics include digital assets classified as "investment contracts" and custody frameworks.
Reviews may lead to clearer regulatory frameworks for the digital assets sector.
This initiative follows Executive Order 14192 aimed at deregulation.
The statement reflects a shift in the SEC's approach towards easing regulations on digital assets since new leadership was appointed.
Uyeda's efforts include reconsidering previous enforcement actions against digital asset businesses.
