The U.S. SEC did not explicitly mention Crypto Assets in its review priorities for 2026.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)'s latest 2026 review focus document clearly deletes cryptocurrency-related chapters that were previously routinely included, a move that seems to be in line with U.S. President Donald Trump's pro-cryptocurrency stance toward the cryptocurrency industry. On Monday, the SEC's review division released a list of review priorities for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, which made no explicit mention of cryptocurrencies or digital assets. However, the SEC said the highlights listed in the filing are “not a complete list of all the areas that the department will focus on in the coming year.” During Trump's administration, the US crypto assets industry experienced rapid development. The Trump administration largely promoted the deregulation of the industry, while his family also expanded their presence in the crypto assets field through trading platforms, mining operations, stablecoins, and token issuance. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins stated in a statement: “The review process is an important part of fulfilling the agency's mission, but it should not become an act of 'deliberately seeking errors'.”
