SEC: "We're Not Walking Away" from Enforcing Crypto Fraud

Top cops at US market regulators vow core enforcement to continue

Top enforcement officials at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission on Wednesday said the agencies will continue to police market misconduct, remarks that arrive as the Trump administration seeks to remake Washington and enforcement. […]

“You can expect to see some changes based on priorities and the different policies we may pursue,” Antonia Apps, acting deputy enforcement director at the SEC, said at an American Bar Association event in Miami. “But we are going to move forward with the core enforcement agenda we have always moved forward with.” […]

When asked about the future of crypto enforcement at the agency, Apps said the regulator will continue to look at enforcement in crypto where it sees fraud and has jurisdiction.

Forget Delaware—‘Y’all Street’ Is Open for Business

Businesses domiciled in Delaware have a choice to make. They can stay and be subjected to increasingly unpredictable theories of liability. Or, like Americans before them, they can come to Texas. Unlike Delaware, the Lone Star State is open for business.

In 2023, I signed a law establishing the Texas Business Court—the state’s first new court system in more than half a century—to specialize in corporate governance disputes, derivative actions and complex commercial transactions.

Texas’ Supreme Court, where any business appeals may ultimately land, is second to none. […]

Additionally, Wall Street’s duopoly over financial markets via the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq shouldn’t limit access to capital for the world’s eighth-largest economy. That’s why I recently announced the creation of the Texas Stock Exchange. In 2026, TXSE will begin facilitating trades and listings in Dallas, America’s emerging financial hub. Y’all Street will reduce barriers for all businesses and refocus on core investment principles instead of ESG and DEI mandates.
