The U.S. Supreme Court was preparing to hear the case of Powell v. SEC, which argued that the rule constituted an unconstitutional restraint on free speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By voluntarily removing the rule, the Commission effectively dodged a potentially severe blow from the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to data from the \u201cAmerican Securities Association,\u201d approximately 2,700 companies and individuals were affected by the \u201cGag Rule\u201d between 2017 and 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New Strategy Could Speed Up Settlements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The SEC maintains that removing the rule will make the enforcement process more efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the commission, companies will now be more inclined to reach out-of-court settlements since they will no longer be forced to waive their right to public defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This could potentially save significant legal costs for both the regulator and the firms involved, while allowing for a faster return of funds to affected investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The change also carries serious implications for the insurance market. In the past, the inability of an executive to deny allegations often made it difficult to access insurance coverage for legal fees. The new framework significantly streamlines this process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite this more liberal approach, the SEC retains the right to demand direct admissions of guilt in cases involving severe misconduct. However, the standard model of the \u201csilent settlement\u201d is now officially a thing of the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Wall Street and the crypto industry, this represents one of the most significant regulatory reversals in the U.S. in recent years\u2014a clear signal that the regulator\u2019s new leadership is reshaping the entire philosophy governing the relationship between the Commission and digital assets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The SEC has officially removed Rule 202.5(e), ending the &#8216;Gag Rule&#8217; and allowing crypto firms to challenge allegations after reaching settlements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":104,"featured_media":191765,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[424],"coin_category":[],"class_list":["post-191766","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-crypto"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
