“The SEC delaying what appears to be a slam dunk case in Binance while welcoming crypto’s return to its pre-FTX days is a bad omen for any other ongoing crypto litigation,” said Corey Frayer, Director of Investor Protection at the CFA.

CFPB secured $20B for consumers. Now, the Trump administration shut it down. “This is a free pass for financial institutions to take advantage of consumers,” said @AdamRust9, director of financial services @ConsumerFed. Corporations win. Americans lose.

Supervision is critical to the work of the CFPB because it helps to ensure the safety of products used by consumers and contributes clarity to market participants. Monitoring the daily practices of companies must continue. #ProtectCFPB
