Democrats in the U.S. Congress recently sent a letter to SEC Chairman questioning the enforcement efforts of the regulatory agency. It is reported that since last year, the SEC has revoked or suspended more than 12 major crypto cases involving several leading exchanges and projects in the industry. This move has sparked widespread attention within the industry—some believe it reflects a shift in regulatory approach, while others think it may provide a breathing space for sued companies. Whether this is policy optimization or a compromise at the enforcement level remains to be seen through subsequent developments. In any case, this shift in regulatory tone is worth close observation by market participants.

Starting from 12? That number is a bit outrageous. Is the SEC really relaxing or playing some kind of trick? --- It's the Democrats and the SEC again, throwing blame at each other. In reality, we're just waiting to be cut. --- A breathing room? I think it's just giving institutions time to liquidate, retail investors are still trapped. --- Regulatory approach adjustment? It sounds like the result after some people made a call—just a power game. --- This matter isn't that complicated. To put it simply, the big fish have escaped, and small exchanges still have to die. --- There's nothing worth observing. The rapid change in the wind indicates that the waters are already very deep.

Are cases being revoked starting from 12? This is not enforcement strength; it's just giving up easily. --- This move by the SEC is a warm gesture to major exchanges, retail investors are still being cut. --- Is there a change in regulatory approach? I think it's just political compromise. Who can say otherwise? --- Wait, even the Democrats have come out to criticize, which clearly indicates there is a problem. --- Leading exchanges are catching their breath and then continuing with their usual business, it's that simple. --- Policy optimization or compromise, it's hard to tell the difference. Anyway, we are never the beneficiaries.

Starting from 12? That number is a bit outrageous, it seems like the SEC is really starting to loosen up.

Canceling 12 cases? Basically, it's like giving a free pass to major exchanges, and the water's been poured a bit too generously.

Cases starting from 12 have been dismissed? This compromise is way too obvious. Did the SEC get played or did they really change their mind?

Are the cases starting from 12 being dismissed? Is the SEC really about to change its stance this time, or are they being pressured by politicians and have no choice? We'll have to see what they say next.
