White House Reviews SEC Crypto Rules After Democratic Midterm Victory

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) submitted a proposed crypto broker-dealer rule to the White House on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026, targeting four securities regulations governing capital, custody, and recordkeeping as Democrats prepare to take control of both chambers of Congress.
