The SEC has been increasing regulatory pressure on cryptocurrency markets for years, drawing criticism from within its own ranks. Members Peirce and Uyeda argue that the commission has acted to stifle the crypto industry without providing necessary legal guidance or creating clear rules.
Trump, Crypto, and SEC
Soon, Trump will initiate and complete a token sale for his DeFi protocol, leading to headlines like “SEC files securities issuance lawsuit against Trump and his team.” There’s no need to speculate on the future; it is clear that Trump’s token sale will open approximately 60% of the supply to individual investors. The project’s team, codes, and numerous details have already created enough chaos.
In an interview with journalist Eleanor Terrett, SEC member Mark Uyeda shared his thoughts on Trump’s DeFi project. His response seemed to foreshadow what’s to come.
“Without commenting on any specific project, the Commission is a public disclosure regulator, not a merit regulator. We do not evaluate the benefits or risks of any project, so I cannot assist with calls to do so.”
The SEC’s war against crypto contributes to the perception of escalating politicization in recent years. If I were speaking to President Trump or any other crypto entrepreneur, I would advise them to hire good lawyers. Because the Commission does not provide clear guidance, they will face the same confusing and exhausting process experienced by other entrepreneurs in this field.
May they have a clear path ahead.
Trump, Polls, and WLFI Coin
The WLFI Token will serve as the currency for Trump’s DeFi project, which has been associated with cryptocurrencies for several months. With the ideal of making financial access easier through DeFi, Trump may be attempting a legal fight just as elections approach. Perhaps the assassination attempt helped bolster his votes, and the SEC’s legal action against him targets more than just “access to finance.”
Recent polls show Trump at 47% and Harris at 49%, just ahead of him. Current polling from U.S. News indicates Harris at 48.3%, while crypto prediction platforms suggest she leads by a greater margin at 52%. As elections draw near, cryptocurrency investors are starting to think more realistically.
The meme coin attributed to Trump, MAGA (TRUMP), is currently valued at $2, seeing a 4.3% increase today.
