- DOGE_SEC’s initiative is fueling scrutiny of the SEC, potentially influencing its approach to crypto regulation.
- Growing speculation suggests the SEC may withdraw its Ripple lawsuit appeal, signaling a shift in crypto enforcement.
A new movement has emerged in the crypto space, and it has the SEC in its sights. The timing is particularly intriguing, given the SEC’s ongoing legal battles with Ripple and other crypto firms. The question arises: could this initiative impact the agency’s stance on digital assets?
As previously highlighted in a recent CNF update, Elon Musk’s support for blockchain technology within the U.S. Treasury has led some to speculate whether Ripple could play a key role. Meanwhile, an account named DOGE_SEC has tweeted on X, calling on the public to help investigate potential misconduct, waste, and abuse within the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

DOGE_SEC’s call to action quickly gained traction, with Coinbase’s Chief Legal Officer, Paul Grewal, even weighing in. He suggested that companies who successfully defend themselves against the SEC should be reimbursed for their legal fees—a sentiment that resonates with many in the crypto community.
Additionally, the initiative has renewed focus on the SEC’s handling of the Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit. Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty, pointed out that the SEC has withheld 201 documents related to its discussions with JPMorgan about XRP.
A Possible Resolution
Speculation is growing that the SEC may withdraw its appeal in the Ripple lawsuit, as internal shifts suggest a softer approach to crypto regulation.
The SEC could be reconsidering its rigid stance on digital assets, with Acting Chair Mark Uyeda criticizing enforcement actions based solely on registration issues. Internal signals suggest Ripple’s case could soon be resolved, especially as the lack of fraud allegations strengthens its position.
What This Means for the Future of Crypto Regulation
If the SEC backs down, it could mark a major shift toward clearer crypto regulations and fairer treatment of digital assets. With the Crypto Task Force shaping policy, significant changes may be on the horizon. Between DOGE_SEC’s probe, Ripple’s lawsuit, and shifting regulatory attitudes, the future of crypto remains uncertain but poised for transformation.
As of now, according to CoinMarketCap data, Ripple (XRP) is trading at $2.66, reflecting a 3.44% decrease in the past day but an 8.39% surge over the past week. See the XRP price chart below.
