  The SEC plays a crucial role in regulating cryptocurrencies and ICOs. They aim to protect investors and maintain fair and efficient markets. The SEC has issued guidelines stating that most cryptocurrencies are considered securities and must comply with federal securities laws. This means that ICOs must register with the SEC or qualify for an exemption. Additionally, the SEC actively investigates and takes legal action against fraudulent activities in the crypto space.
