Will the SEC face a positive turn? A preview of crypto regulation rules under Republican control in 2026

【BitPush】The power structure of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has undergone new changes. As the Republican Party regains control, the policy direction of this financial regulatory agency is also adjusting accordingly. According to industry expectations, the SEC is expected to introduce a series of more crypto-friendly regulatory frameworks by 2026, continuing the supportive regulatory efforts initiated last year.

Why is there such a shift? The key lies in the differences in party positions. Republicans generally hold a more open attitude toward cryptocurrencies and digital asset industries, whereas Democrats tend to be more cautious and conservative in this area. This political ecosystem change directly impacts the regulatory agency’s decision-making priorities.

More notably, the U.S. Senate is expected to vote on the Crypto Market Structure Bill soon. The passage of this bill could establish a clearer legal framework for the entire industry, protecting investors’ interests while providing a more stable policy environment for innovative companies. Given the current political landscape, the likelihood of the bill passing has increased.
