Deep Tide TechFlow news: on April 18, according to Decrypt, Elizabeth Warren, the top Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee, formally sent a letter to SEC Chair Paul Atkins this week, accusing him of deliberately misleading conduct during the February 12 congressional hearing about the SEC’s enforcement action slowdown. The SEC’s latest data shows that in 2025, only 456 new enforcement cases were initiated for the full year; of these, only 256 were brought during the Trump administration—far below the level of 765 cases per year on average over the past decade. Warren said that the sharp drop in enforcement numbers, the large-scale reduction in personnel, and sudden leadership changes have raised serious doubts among the public about the SEC’s willingness and ability to protect investors.
