Fox business reporter Eleanor Terrett noted that the latest measure is a "one-sided effort" between the Sec and other US regulators at "crypto blitz". She also suggested that additional well advisories for crypto firms should be expected in the next two to three weeks.
Another step in the unilateral effort between the @SECGov, @NYDFS and @USOCC to blitz crypto. I was told there would be more pit notifications in the next two or three weeks.

It introduces crypto lovers with a mix of good and bad news.
Strengthening surveillance of the crypto sector could be seen as a safeguard for retail investors and enable institutional investors to familiarize themselves with the market.
