Watch our Founder & CEO, Perianne Boring, on Varney & Co. as she breaks down our new report, Beyond Merit, exposing how the SEC’s Division of Investment Management blocked registered investment companies from offering bitcoin and digital asset exposure. ⬇️ Full Report: https://lnkd.in/eUT4U9BM

In recent years, the SEC has increasingly faced accusations that it has been wandering into the “unbounded, dangerous territory of merit regulation,” as SEC Chairman Hester Peirce artfully described in 2020. TDC’s new report, “Beyond Merit: How the SEC’s Division of Investment Management Blocked Permissible Investments in Digital Assets” focuses on how the SEC’s Division of Investment Management has limited the ability of registered investment companies to provide investors with legally permitted exposure to #DigitalAssets for almost a decade based on an inherent bias against digital assets rather than established rule, statute, or law. The SEC’s historic regulation by enforcement approach towards digital assets created shifting standards with no basis in rule, statute, or law. In this vacuum, the SEC’s Division of Investment Management took on the role of merit regulator, imposing its own discretion on whether digital asset exposure could be offered by registered investment companies Our report highlights these issues with the hope that shining a light on such behavior might encourage the SEC to return to its core mission as a disclosure regulator, and cease acting as a merit regulator picking winners and losers. As new majority leadership takes the helm at the SEC, we are already seeing a fundamental change in the agency’s willingness to reset course and address the agency’s prior inherent bias against the digital asset industry. We hope that this report assists the new majority in its efforts to identify and rectify this unfair bias at every level of the SEC.

Yesterday, the SEC and Binance agreed to a 60-day litigation stay—a step in the right direction to address the SEC’s harmful history of regulation by enforcement. TDC’s Token Alliance has been actively calling on the SEC to review all ongoing digital asset litigation cases and seek stays for those that do not involve fraud, investor loss, or risk of imminent harm. While this stay was negotiated between the parties, we’ve been pushing for this exact approach—and it’s encouraging to see it put into action. The SEC’s enforcement-first agenda has driven innovation and investment offshore, and we applaud Acting Chair Uyeda’s leadership in taking steps to support the U.S. digital asset market. 🔗 Read our full list of 2025 SEC Policy Priorities here: https://bit.ly/4aTQJmh
