Elizabeth Warren accuses SEC Chair Paul Atkins of misleading Congress over declining enforcement actions, raising concerns about investor protection

The enforcement decline Warren's citing is mostly voluntarily dismissed Gensler-era cases (Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, Consensys) — Ripple already carved out programmatic sales and courts were narrowing the SEC's securities theory. Her framing conflates case volume with investor protection while the Crypto Task Force still hasn't shipped replacement rules. So there's a legitimate gap, just not the one Warren's pointing at.
