The actions generally do not seem to match the words, and seem to point to a general trend of deregulation and lack of oversight (as the administration has said they would do, and especially in the crypto space has essentially stopped prosecuting crimes)

Going up-thread, here's the original claim under contention: >> will be to not be overseen by the SEC in some important capacity. Your articles don't dispute this. As for whether oversight will be "weaker" and more de-regulated, maybe. 1. There's a headcount reduction. At worst, there's a quote that some really experienced watchdogs are out the door. Hard to tell until we get outcomes. 2. As for withdrawal of proposals, look closer. > Although most observers doubted that the current Commission would adopt these proposals Which makes it sound like the proposals were just withdrawn for later submittal and new discussion. Footnote #1 goes into how this isn't really unprecedented, citing similar withdrawals (or resets) under the Biden admin.

  Sure, I am just saying the comment about "hunting crooks more aggressively" seems to run counter to their anti-regulation stance, and their active lack of hunting crooks.
