The U.S. SEC has prioritized cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin $BTC and Ethereum $ETH exchange-traded products (ETPs), in its 2025 examination agenda. This is due to the volatility and risks in the crypto market. The SEC plans to evaluate firms offering crypto-related services and assess how companies manage blockchain technology risks and security threats.
SEC Chair Gary Gensler emphasized the importance of understanding regulatory rules for investor protection. The agency's focus has shifted with the inclusion of spot crypto ETFs, approved in 2022.
