  • If Pravda had a podcast

    This was close enough to April Fools Day that I thought it was a joke at first. Unfortunately, it’s not. Hopefully the episodes get a bit less partisan as time goes on. I realize that everything is political these days, but the SEC was designed not to be.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Director Jim Moloney: Let the Free Markets be Free
Q: Where does the semi-annual reporting idea stand and what are the plans for the division on that?
The idea is to potentially shift to a lighter cadence (fewer reports) for many registrants, with large companies possibly staying on three Qs and a K, while newer or smaller companies might prefer the breathing room to focus on building the business; the plan includes a voluntary switch with a transition period and ongoing investor participation.
Director Jim Moloney: Let the Free Markets be Free
Q: So, just to unpack some of that, what's RegFlex agenda you refer to as?
RegFlex is a structured list of regulatory initiatives the Commission periodically publishes; it includes efforts to simplify disclosures, address crypto assets, review proxy procedures, and potentially refine or reduce certain rules to modernize the filing process.
Commissioners Set the Course: 2026 Priorities
Q: What steps are being taken to educate investors and prevent fraud in crypto and emerging markets?
Efforts include broad-based investor education, meeting people where they are with accessible resources, encouraging skepticism of too-good-to-be-true offers, and embedding educational tools at a young age to build long-term financial literacy.
Commissioners Set the Course: 2026 Priorities
Q: How does the SEC balance fostering innovation with protecting investors in the crypto space?
By building a cooperative, clearly defined framework with other regulators like the CFTC, focusing on where securities regulation applies, remaining principles-based, and ensuring investor education so the market can grow while preventing fraud.
Commissioners Set the Course: 2026 Priorities
Q: What is crypto and why is it important for the future strength of American capital markets?
Crypto is a technology that enables secure, programmable value transfer and can be integrated with traditional securities to expand financing and investment opportunities, provided there is a clear, durable regulatory framework that protects investors and allows innovation to flourish.
