What’s new? In February, the number of mentions of cryptocurrency projects and blockchain technology in filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reached an all-time high. The agency’s EDGAR database recorded more than 5000 keyword mentions, reflecting the growing integration of blockchain into various industries and the evolving regulatory framework under the new administration of Donald Trump.
What else is known? The surge in blockchain mentions coincides with a significant shift in the SEC’s approach to regulating cryptocurrencies under acting Chairman Mark Uyede, who took office after the change of president in January.
The SEC has since closed several high-profile investigations into major crypto companies, including exchanges Uniswap, Coinbase, Kraken, and Gemini, in a marked departure from the “regulation by enforcement” strategy under former Chairman Gary Gensler.

The exchange cited the Freedom of Information Act, under which it had previously obtained internal documents from regulators about the campaign to de-bank crypto firms
Also in late January, the SEC created a cryptocurrency task force led by Commissioner Hester Peirce, known as “Crypto Mom” for her industry-friendly stance. The group plans to hold its first roundtable in late March to outline the future regulatory landscape for digital assets.
As regulatory uncertainty decreases under the new administration’s approach, companies may feel more confident in documenting blockchain and crypto asset initiatives in filings with the SEC.
