US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has settled a lawsuit that forced the securities regulator to hand over the documents on potential conflicts of interest in its cryptocurrency enforcement decisions. The government watchdog Empower Oversight president provided explanations for why it agreed to end the suit with the U.S. SEC.

This caused confusion in the markets about whether the government watchdog settled with the SEC on conflicts regarding the way enforcement decisions were taken by the regulator against crypto companies.
Empower Oversight President Tristan Leavitt in a post on X said “We at Empower Oversight are definitely not done fighting for answers from the SEC.” He explained resolving only the lawsuit filed against the SEC in May 2023 after receiving all documents, while other lawsuits are still in court.
“Following the production of those documents Empower began settlement talks with the SEC, but which didn’t conclude until we recently reached agreement over attorney’s fees,” said the government watchdog.

Empower Oversight still has two pending issues with the SEC. First, the new issues from revelations in the documents produced by the SEC. Rather than seeking communications between specific individuals, the new request points to searching for records of interest to the public, such as searching for key words of interest.
Second, Empower Oversight seeks records on the <a href="https://coingape.com/tag/ripple-vs-sec" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SEC v. Ripple</a> litigation, referral to the SEC OIG regarding managing Hinman’s conflicts, and the first FOIA lawsuit on litigation by former SEC officials.
The watchdog said there are more documents the public deserves to see regarding the issues and how the SEC responded to the crypto conflicts of interest.
