The regulator’s Division of Examinations specifically named spot Bitcoin and Ether exchange-traded products in its priorities after their 2024 launch.
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has again included cryptocurrencies in its list of examination priorities for the next year, even as its leadership and government control could change hands.
In an Oct. 21 notice, the SEC’s Division of Examinations released its priorities for 2025, including crypto assets and their “associated products and services.”
According to the regulator, it planned to focus on the “offer, sale, recommendation, advice, trading, and other activities involving crypto assets,” explicitly naming spot Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) exchange-traded products.
