The SEC, during<a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://www.sec.gov/about/commissioners/caroline-a-crenshaw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Crenshaw’s previous tenure</a>, has focused on investor protection, which some industry leaders fear could stifle innovation. Many see her reappointment as a signal that the SEC will continue its stringent regulatory scrutiny, potentially affecting the U.S.’s standing in the global digital asset market.
