US congressmen harshly questioned SEC Chair Paul Atkins during Wednesday’s session due to the decrease in enforcement actions against the crypto industry and the dismissal of some cases. Representative Stephen Lynch emphasized that enforcement actions have decreased by 60 percent since Trump took office and Atkins was appointed. He cited the dismissal of the Binance case in May 2025 as an example.

Is WLFI Investment and Memecoins a National Security Issue?
Lynch found the 49% investment in the Trump family-linked World Liberty Financial (WLFI) platform from Abu Dhabi-based Aryam Investment 1 and the family memecoins problematic from a national security perspective. He argued that the crypto market has fallen by 25% in the last month, trust has been lost, and the SEC’s reputation has been damaged. Atkins responded that they are conducting a strong enforcement effort and bringing new cases.

EMA 20: $0.0095. Expert opinion: If S1 ($0.0080) breaks, the decline will accelerate; if R1 ($0.0086) holds, recovery is possible. WLFI and MEME coin tensions are indirectly pressuring ALT.
WLFI-MEME Connection and ALT Investor Risk
Trump family memecoins and WLFI investment have reduced ALT futures volume. Investors should monitor national security claims; while Atkins’ defense signals regulatory easing, Waters’ accusations could increase volatility. Short-term bearish outlook dominates for ALT.
What Will SEC Policy Change Bring to ALT?
The decrease in enforcement could give breathing room to projects like ALT, but political pressure is eroding confidence. Dismissals like the Binance case could set precedents. Follow: Nearby support S1 is critical.
