Over in the House, Financial Services Committee Ranking Member Waters (D-CA) has sent a letter to SEC Chairman Paul Atkins, blasting the agency for dismissing “important litigated crypto cases without justification”, such as those against Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken, and noting the dismissals as crypto companies pour money into Trump’s crypto businesses “create[] the unmistakable inference of a pay-to-play scheme”. She urges the agency to revisit its request to stay an enforcement action against Justin Sun and his Tron business, writing that “The SEC’s request to stay the Sun litigation, and subsequent efforts to settle the matter, may have been unduly influenced by Sun’s relationship with the Trump family, including his significant financial contributions to their businesses.”18 Previously, Waters had sent a letter to Financial Services Committee Chair French Hill (R-AR) requesting he schedule an oversight hearing with Chairman Atkins, noting that “the Committee has not held a single hearing with Chairman Atkins, despite the agency’s rapid, significant, and questionable policy shifts during the Trump Administration, largely accomplished by unilateral action by the Chairman.”19 No hearing has yet been scheduled.
