The Digital Chamber's Token Alliance presented its 2025 SEC Digital Asset Policy Priorities to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) this week, aiming to reshape the agency's relationship with the digital asset industry. At a meeting with SEC commissioners Hester Peirce and Mark Uyeda, the Alliance emphasized the importance of denouncing the 2018 Hinman speech, which they argue lacks relevance to the Howey test, as a priority for the Corporation Finance division. Additionally, industry insiders at a crypto conference in Washington discussed the upcoming crypto advisory council under President-elect Donald Trump and the urgent need for policy changes. The Digital Chamber urged the SEC to reconsider its crypto probes and lawsuits from the outset of Trump's administration, with Commissioner Hester Peirce noting that a pro-crypto transition is already underway as Chair Gary Gensler prepares to step down. The evolving regulatory landscape is expected to bring swift changes, although experts caution that companies must remain vigilant regarding private plaintiffs and state regulators.

BREAKING: SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce says pro-crypto "transition" already underway as Chair Gensler prepares to step down: "There are some things we can do right out of the gate — at least get processes started to make some changes." https://t.co/akjCSkgVhJ
Yes, federal regulation will change quickly and significantly under the Trump administration next year. But that doesn't mean crypto law suddenly becomes a free-for-all. Companies launching tokens etc. shouldn't forget two critical risks: - private plaintiffs - state regulators
