The New York Times investigation reveals that after Trump returned to the White House, the U.S. SEC significantly scaled back its enforcement efforts in the crypto industry. Over 60% of ongoing crypto cases at the time of his return were either paused, reduced in penalties, or directly dropped, with no new crypto cases being initiated. The report highlights that the SEC has ceased pursuing any cases against crypto companies with known ties to Trump, including withdrawing or freezing lawsuits against Binance, Coinbase, Gemini, and others, as well as attempting to lower Ripple's fines (which was not supported by the court). The SEC denies political favoritism, stating that adjustments were based on legal and policy considerations, but some former SEC officials warn that this move could weaken investor protection. https://www.(wublock123.com)/index.php?m=content&c=index&a=show&catid=6&id=53560
