SEC to Hold First Meeting Under Mark Uyeda’s Leadership

Mark Uyeda’s Leadership
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is set to hold its first closed meeting since Mark Uyeda took over as acting chair. Scheduled for Thursday, the meeting will include commissioners, legal counsel, and enforcement officials, focusing on litigation claims, administrative proceedings, and regulatory enforcement.

Ripple Case Remains a Key Focus

The meeting follows Judge Torres’s ruling in the SEC vs. Ripple case, which determined that certain XRP distributions do not qualify as securities. Despite this, the SEC has appealed, arguing that the court misinterpreted XRP’s classification when traded on exchanges.

Industry Experts Call for Dismissal

Legal experts, including John Deaton, have urged the SEC to drop the case, citing the changing political landscape and growing regulatory pushback against enforcement-driven actions. Some believe a settlement between Ripple and the SEC could be on the horizon, providing clarity on XRP’s legal status.

Potential Release of Bill Hinman’s Report

In a related development, legal analyst Metalawman suggested that the SEC may soon release the Inspector General’s report on Bill Hinman’s conflict of interest. He emphasized that there is no reason for further delays, even before Paul Atkins officially takes charge.

With Uyeda now leading the SEC, market participants are watching closely for signs of regulatory shifts that could reshape the crypto landscape.
