Elon Musk's DOGE Proposes SEC Investigation, Sparking Crypto Debate

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is considering an investigation into the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This move has sparked mixed reactions within the crypto community, with some expressing nostalgia for former SEC Chair Gary Gensler and others suggesting potential allies could be undermined.

The DOGE, led by Paul Grewal, Coinbase's Chief Legal Officer, has proposed that Musk's department require the SEC to cover legal fees and costs for defendants who prevail in SEC lawsuits. This suggestion comes amidst speculation that Musk's department may plan significant reductions at the SEC, a move opposed by Hester Peirce, head of the SEC's new Crypto Task Force.

Meanwhile, some users on X are calling for the DOGE to first investigate the SEC and Ripple litigation. The DOGE has also called on the public to share insights on potential waste, fraud, and abuse within the SEC. An investigation by the DOGE could potentially undermine a newly emerging ally in the crypto industry, according to some sources.
