The US Securities and Exchange Commission said it filed 348 enforcement actions in fiscal 2026, down 23.7% from 456 a year earlier. Standalone actions fell to 235 from 303. The 348 total was the fewest since 1991, according to a Reuters review of SEC records.
The SEC said it charged three purported crypto trading platforms and four investment clubs in an alleged scheme that defrauded investors of at least $14 million. In a separate case, it accused a Bitcoin mining business founder of misappropriating $48.5 million. It also settled charges against the partner who led FTX’s audits over failures to meet professional auditing standards.
