The SEC has released its 2026 regulatory agenda, which outlines a revitalized focus on the agency’s central priorities which are protecting investors, supporting capital formation, and ensuring fair and efficient markets. The SEC seeks to update its rules by adopting new technology and making it simple to understand how crypto assets can be issued, traded, and stored on‑chain, while keeping strong investor protections in place.
The 2026 Regulatory Agenda focuses on the following:
- revitalizing public markets by simplifying disclosures and reducing compliance burdens both to encourage more companies to go public and increase investor access to early expansion
- broaden safe retail access to private markets through a transparent and protective framework
- strengthen US capital‑market leadership and ensure markets remain vibrant, accessible, and structured for sustained growth
