After some big wins for the crypto industry (and big losses for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission), Jason Gottlieb, partner at Morrison Cohen, delves into how the upcoming US elections could reshape the SEC’s crypto agenda, the political pressures influencing SEC decisions, and the potential impact that a new SEC chair could have. 

Gottlieb provides insights into ongoing court battles involving major crypto firms like Coinbase and explores the broader political implications of the Democrats' recent outreach to the crypto industry.

Show highlights:

• How the sea change in Congress, the White House, and the Biden campaign affects the SEC’s stance on crypto
• Whether the SEC's agenda on crypto has changed, following the sudden reversal on ETH ETFs
• Whether the SEC is being pressured politically about crypto and how that could affect its actions between now and the election
• How the ongoing legal crypto cases are affected by the SEC’s change of tune
• What the implications of a possible new SEC chair would be
• How the SEC’s credibility was damaged by the Debt Box case
• Why Jason thinks Democrats are in an “uncomfortable position” but also believes there’s a lot of common ground with the Republicans with regard to crypto
