Acting SEC Chair Uyeda announces new crypto task force

  • SEC acting chair Mark Uyeda has announced a crypto task force dubbed “SEC Crypto 2.0”
  • The task force will look to establish a clear regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies.
  • SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce will lead this task force.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission has announced the formation of a new crypto task force.

Acting SEC Chair Mark Uyeda launched the “SEC Crypto 2.0”, a task force the agency says will be “dedicated to developing a comprehensive and clear regulatory framework for crypto assets.”

The announcement comes days after it emerged the agency was looking for a crypto regulatoy approach reboot under President Donald Trump.

SEC acting chair forms crypto task force

According to a press release the regulatory published on Jan. 21, Commissioner Hester Peirce is set to lead the new task force. Crypto 2.0 aims at offering a path to regulatory clarity for the crypto industry, the SEC said in the release.

“To date, the SEC has relied primarily on enforcement actions to regulate crypto retroactively and reactively, often adopting novel and untested legal interpretations along the way. Clarity regarding who must register, and practical solutions for those seeking to register, have been elusive,” the statement reads in part.

SEC plans to coordinate with other federal agencies, including the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Collaboration will also involve both state and international counterparts.

“This undertaking will take time, patience, and much hard work. It will succeed only if the Task Force has input from a wide range of investors, industry participants, academics, and other interested parties. We look forward to working hand-in-hand with the public to foster a regulatory environment that protects investors, facilitates capital formation, fosters market integrity, and supports innovation,” Commissioner Peirce stated.

SEC’s move comes a day after former chair Gary Gensler exited following his resignation. President Donald Trump appointed Uyeda the acting chair.

With Gensler heavily criticised for the commission’s regulation by enforcement approach and a lack of clear path to registration for crypto companies, the main goal of the task force is to clear the confusion. It will also help put in place “sensible disclosure frameworks” with the SEC eyeing public input on this. The Peirce-led team will also undertake roundtable meetings.

New memecoin Pengu Unleashed raise $1.5M in first day of presale

Pengu Unleashed (PUNGU) has officially announced the successful launch of its cryptocurrency token, marking a groundbreaking entry into the meme coin market by raising an impressive $1.5 million on the first day of its presale.

What makes PUNGU stand out?

At its core, Pengu Unleashed is about more than just hype. The project integrates advanced Layer 2 rollup technology like zk-rollups and optimistic rollups to cut down gas fees and speed up transactions. This means users can trade, stake, and build on the platform with minimal costs, all while staying secure.

But that’s not all. PUNGU is also on a mission to do good, pledging $1 million to penguin habitat conservation and climate change initiatives.

It’s a win-win: contribute to a greener planet while riding the next big wave in crypto.

Pengu Unleashed presale gains momentum as staking goes live

The early interest in Pengu Unleashed is reflected in its presale performance.

Launched this week, the presale has attracted over $1 million within the first 24 hours of going live.

The total raise now stands at almost $1.7 million.

Early investors can buy PUNGU tokens for $0.015 each during the current stage of the presale.

The Pengu Unleashed team accepts purchases in ETH and USDT.

$PUNGU is already making moves, securing listings on Tier 2 exchange BitMart and a soon-to-be-revealed Tier 1 exchange. These partnerships will make it even easier for investors to jump in and trade.

Meanwhile, presale participants are already staking their tokens to earn rewards ahead of the official launch.

Where to buy and what’s next

A growing community

PUNGU is already attracting attention online, with its Telegram channel reaching 4000+ members in 72 hours. Early adopters are locking in their positions, staking tokens, and preparing for the next steps in the roadmap.

With strong early momentum and an eye toward innovation, PUNGU is positioning itself as a standout player in the meme coin space.

Why investors are paying attention

PUNGU isn’t just a token, it’s an entire platform designed for decentralized applications (DApps). Developers can build with Ethereum-compatible tools, while PUNGU holders gain governance rights to shape the ecosystem’s future.

A lead developer summed it up perfectly:
“Memes are cultural artifacts, and Pengu Unleashed is building infrastructure to make them scalable and meaningful. By lowering the entry barrier for creators and developers, we’re enabling a new wave of decentralized creativity.”

However, its early presale success and positioning in the Pungu space make it a project that many investors are watching closely.
