The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has acknowledged that some of its past enforcement actions related to cryptocurrency were ineffective at protecting investors, Cointelegraph reported. In its 2025 enforcement results report, the SEC stated that while it had taken 95 actions for books and records violations and imposed $2.3 billion in fines since fiscal year 2022, these measures had a limited effect on investor protection and did not confirm direct investor harm. The report also noted that some cases highlighted issues with the interpretation of federal securities laws and inefficient resource allocation, confirming a tendency to prioritize the number of enforcement actions over actual investor protection. In response, U.S. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins said the agency will now focus on illegal activities such as fraud, market manipulation, and breach of trust, rather than pursuing a strategy centered on increasing case numbers or imposing record-breaking fines.

He argued that a conservative approach is still necessary for the coming months. Coutts pointed out that the current liquidity-to-debt indicator is at an extreme level and that instability in the private credit market is gradually expanding. He suggested that while a short-term buy signal could emerge, investors should monitor weekly trends to confirm whether Bitcoin has exited its risk zone from a medium- to long-term perspective.

Jack Yi, founder of LD Capital, has argued that the current crypto market is similar to 2019 and presents an optimal time for buying the dip. In a post on X, Yi stated that the war is effectively over, with assessments suggesting neither side has a reason to continue the conflict. He compared this year's market structure to that of 2019, noting sharply reduced secondary market liquidity, contracted investor sentiment, and large-scale restructuring and talent departures at Web3 companies. Yi said that the point when market participants feel fear is actually an investment opportunity, making this year an optimal time to buy low. He added that the institutions that bought the dip in 2019 became the biggest winners in the major bull market of 2020.

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao recalled in his memoirs that FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) casually requested billions of dollars during the exchange's collapse, CoinDesk reported. Zhao stated that SBF asked for the funds as nonchalantly as if he were ordering a bologna sandwich, and that Binance's letter of intent to acquire FTX at the time was merely a formality with no real intention of purchase. Zhao identified a critical mistake by Caroline Ellison, then-CEO of FTX's sister firm Alameda Research, as the primary cause of the collapse. He explained that Ellison's public offer to buy Binance's FTT holdings for $22 per token effectively revealed a price floor, which prompted numerous traders to open short positions and trigger a sharp price decline. Zhao added that in the aftermath, Binance itself faced withdrawals of over $7 billion in a single day but was able to meet all requests as it held full user reserves. The withdrawn funds returned to the platform within a month, he said.
