The post SEC Drops Crypto from 2026 Priority List appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has removed cryptocurrency from its 2026 examination priorities, indicating it no longer views crypto as a top risk area. The new focus shifts to fiduciary duty, cybersecurity, and customer protection. While crypto isn’t a separate priority, the SEC remains watchful, reminding firms to maintain compliance amid evolving regulations. This change reflects a softer regulatory stance that could encourage growth but signals ongoing scrutiny in broader risk areas.
