Deep Tide TechFlow News, January 07, According to Cointelegraph, the last Democratic commissioner of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Caroline Crenshaw, has resigned, leaving the agency entirely composed of Republicans. This change is expected to accelerate the formulation of pro-cryptocurrency policies by 2026.

As a staunch opponent of Bitcoin ETFs, Crenshaw’s departure is seen as a victory for the crypto industry. Currently, the SEC is composed of three Republican commissioners: Chair Paul Atkins, Hester Peirce, and Mark Uyeda.

The Trump administration also controls other regulatory agencies, including the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), which has only one Republican commissioner. Although the SEC still needs to follow the Federal Administrative Procedure Act, experts anticipate 2026 will be a “harvest year” for crypto regulation.
