SEC enforcement actions fell 24% in fiscal 2026
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission released its fiscal 2026 results on November 10. It filed 348 cases through the end of September, down 23.7% from 456 the previous fiscal year and the lowest number since 1991.
Penalties and civil fines totaled $1.095 billion, the lowest since 2008. The agency returned about $731 million to more than 250,000 investors.
Crypto cases are still being pursued. The annual report included a case involving a fake trading platform that defrauded investors of at least $14 million, as well as a case against the founder of a Bitcoin mining company who raised $95.6 million and was accused of misappropriating $48.5 million. Cornerstone Research counted 33 crypto enforcement actions in 2024 and 13 in 2025.
This was Chairman Atkins’ first full fiscal year. He said that looking only at the number of cases is not enough.
