Introduction

The United States Securities Exchange Commission’s (SEC) approval of eleven Bitcoin ETFs has institutionalized Bitcoin after a decade of efforts by fund managers. This move has allowed digital assets to become a permanent part of US investors’ portfolios. Despite this milestone, major digital asset exchanges like Coinbase and Binance are facing legal battles with the SEC, prompting federal agencies to increase enforcement efforts against misconduct in the digital asset industry.
