A Significant Shift Away From ESG and Toward Crypto Is Expected at the SEC

Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance

Brian V. Breheny Raquel Fox Sydney E. Smith

The SEC is set to undergo sweeping changes under the second Trump administration, with a Republican-controlled commission setting a new agenda. Partners Brian Breheny and Raquel Fox and associate Sydney Smith discuss why, under a new SEC:

  • ESG proposals likely will be revised or withdrawn.
  • A framework for cryptoasset regulation will be a priority.
  • Enforcement policy may return to focusing on investor harm.
  • Capital formation may get more attention.
