SEC expands Crypto Assets and Cyber Unit

The newly renamed Crypto Assets and Cyber Unit (previously called the Cyber Unit) in the Division of Enforcement will focus on investigating securities law violations in the industry. It aims to grow to 50 dedicated positions in the coming days.

SEC chair Gary Gensler said that the United States has the most significant capital markets because "investors have faith in them." He underscored the importance of dedicating more resources to "protect" investors.

"By nearly doubling the size of this key unit, the SEC will be better equipped to police wrongdoing in the crypto markets while continuing to identify disclosure and controls issues with respect to cybersecurity."
Since its inception in 2017, the unit has investigated more than 80 cases involving fraudulent and unlicensed crypto-asset offerings and platforms, culminating in over $2 billion in monetary relief. The announcement reveals that the expansion of the Crypto Assets and Cyber Unit will draw on the agency's experience to protect investors in the crypto markets. It will focus on securities law violations linked to crypto offerings, crypto exchanges, crypto lending and staking products, DeFi platforms, NFTs, and stablecoins.

Last year, Gensler compared Stablecoins with Casino poker chips. Recently, he suggested that the SEC's traditional asset investor protections should also apply to investors in crypto markets. Using a "come in and talk to us" strategy, Gensler has encouraged crypto firms with securities to register to protect investors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
