The SEC should have been using the proper two-factor authentication methods through an app instead of SMS-based. You lose access to your account because of an SMS based two-factor authentication. Simsoop. That's your own damn fault because you weren't taking the proper security precautions.

The SEC is the regulating body for the US stock exchange. Numerous companies on the stock exchange are heavily involved in Bitcoin. And if I recall correctly, Bitcoin is also exchanged through platforms regulated by the SEC. There are other things the SEC oversees that could be directly/indirectly related to crypto as well.
