BlockBeats News, November 18th, according to Cointelegraph, the latest annual priorities document for the 2026 fiscal year released by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) significantly eliminated the previously common special chapter on cryptocurrency. This move seems to be in line with former President Trump's support for the crypto industry.

The examination department of the agency released its annual work priorities as of September 30, 2026, without specifically mentioning cryptocurrency or digital assets. However, the SEC stated that the listed priorities are "not an exhaustive list of all areas of focus for the coming year." During Trump's tenure, the U.S. crypto industry experienced significant growth - the government continued to push for regulatory loosening, and his family also expanded into the crypto field through exchanges, mining, stablecoins, and token businesses.

Under former Chairman Gary Gensler's leadership last year, the department explicitly listed "the issuance, sale, recommendation, advisory, trading, and other activities related to crypto assets" as priorities, notably mentioning spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. The 2023 priorities document also included a special chapter on "Crypto Assets and Emerging Financial Technologies."

However, in the latest work priorities list, the SEC stated that it will focus on "core areas" such as custody responsibilities, asset custody, and client information protection. The report outlines in a section that it will also pay particular attention to companies' "ability to respond to cyber attacks and achieve business recovery, especially regarding ransomware attack-related incidents."
