Democratic Lawmakers Criticize SEC's Enforcement Stance on Crypto
Democratic lawmakers have voiced strong criticism regarding the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) apparent retreat from enforcing US securities laws against prominent cryptocurrency firms. The SEC has reportedly dropped nearly a dozen enforcement cases since the early part of 2025. These actions include the cessation of ongoing litigation against major exchanges such as Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken, even in instances where rulings had previously supported the SEC’s allegations of fraud and unregistered securities offerings.
The Democratic lawmakers have asserted that the timing of these case closures raises significant questions regarding potential political influence. They have highlighted that entities such as Coinbase, Kraken, Ripple, Robinhood, and Crypto.com have collectively contributed millions to President Trump’s campaign and inauguration events.
Furthermore, lawmakers have specifically called out Tron founder Justin Sun. Sun's SEC case has reportedly been put on hold, even as he continues to invest substantial sums into crypto ventures linked to Trump.
