Welcome to SEC Regulation Outside the United States 2025

All change at the SEC under new Chairman Paul Atkins. The SEC has convened the Crypto Task Force to regulate digital currencies. Comments are being reviewed on a Concept Release to define Foreign Private Issuer. Crypto enforcement actions are dwindling. A Cross-Border Task Force has been formed in the Division of Enforcement.
These topics, and others, are influencing how non-U.S. persons interact with U.S. clients and the U.S. markets. More is on the way.
