U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission was founded in 1934 and operates as part of the United States federal government. Its official X account at @SECGov features press releases, speeches, and regulatory announcements. Paul S. Atkins has served as SEC Chairman since 2025, with Hester M.

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission works alongside the Commodity Futures Trading Commission on matters touching digital assets and market structure.

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has been a central figure in crypto regulation and enforcement. On January 10, 2024, the SEC issued Release No. 34-99306 granting accelerated approval for proposed rule changes to list and trade shares of 11 bitcoin-based exchange-traded products. The day before that approval, on January 9, 2024, the @SECGov X account was compromised in what the SEC later attributed to a SIM swap attack, per Axios reporting, posting an unauthorized message falsely claiming spot bitcoin ETPs had been approved; according to AP, bitcoin briefly moved more than $1,000 following the post before the SEC denied approval at that time.

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has pursued major crypto enforcement actions in recent years. On December 22, 2020, the SEC charged Ripple Labs Inc. and two executives with allegedly raising over $1.3 billion through an unregistered digital asset securities offering involving XRP. On June 5, 2023, the SEC charged Binance entities and founder Changpeng Zhao with 13 securities-law charges, though on May 29, 2025, the SEC filed a joint stipulation to dismiss that civil enforcement action with prejudice. On June 6, 2023, the SEC charged Coinbase, Inc. with allegedly operating its crypto asset trading platform as an unregistered national securities exchange, broker, and clearing agency. On February 16, 2023, the SEC charged Terraform Labs PTE Ltd and Do Hyeong Kwon with allegedly orchestrating a multi-billion dollar crypto asset securities fraud involving an algorithmic stablecoin.

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has also restructured its internal crypto-focused units. The SEC previously operated the Crypto Assets and Cyber Unit, which since its 2017 creation had brought more than 80 enforcement actions related to fraudulent and unregistered crypto asset offerings and platforms, resulting in monetary relief totaling more than $2 billion, per the SEC's May 2022 announcement. On February 20, 2025, the SEC announced the Cyber and Emerging Technologies Unit, led by Laura D'Allaird, replacing that prior unit and including fraud involving blockchain technology and crypto assets among its priority areas. On January 21, 2025, the SEC also launched a Crypto Task Force dedicated to developing a comprehensive regulatory framework for crypto assets, led by Commissioner Hester Peirce.
