PANews reported on March 13 that according to The Block, terms related to blockchain in U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) documents reached an all-time high in February, with the EDGAR database recording more than 5,000 related mentions, showing a continuous upward trend since mid-2023.
This growth is consistent with a significant shift in the SEC's regulatory stance toward the crypto industry. Since Acting Chairman Mark Uyeda took office following the presidential transition in January, the SEC has terminated multiple investigations into companies such as Uniswap, Coinbase, Yuga Labs, Kraken, and Gemini, marking a shift away from the "enforcement and regulation" strategy of former Chairman Gary Gensler. In addition, the Crypto Task Force, which Uyeda established in late January and is led by crypto-friendly Commissioner Hester Peirce, plans to hold its first round of roundtable meetings this month to explore a more collaborative regulatory model.
