The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently announced a major personnel change — Deputy Director of the Company Finance Department Cicely LaMothe is about to retire. This news has attracted the attention of the crypto community because she was known for her "frequent actions" during her tenure.

Under her push, the SEC clarified that memecoin does not fall under the category of securities, breaking many previous market confusions. At the same time, she provided in-depth explanations on the regulatory framework for staking (staking), laying a foundation for the standardized development of the entire ecosystem. These decisions may seem technical but are actually far-reaching — directly affecting token classification, investor protection, and platform compliance.

Industry experts generally believe that LaMothe has been a key driver in the SEC's noticeable shift in attitude towards crypto over the past year. Her departure is bound to trigger market reflections on the continuity of regulatory policies.

Haha LaMothe leaves, I don't know if the next one will just pull back directly... I benefited from that wave of memecoin.

Oh my, once LaMothe leaves, are our good days coming to an end... If it weren't for her, memecoin would have been wiped out by the SEC long ago, and we wouldn't be able to make money. Now I'm just worried that the newcomer might be another tough nut to crack. Resign or retire? This pace is really intense, are regulatory policies about to change? Wait, who can replace her? Don't let it be another extremist... This time, we might really need to adjust our strategy; the situation is getting a bit serious.

LaMothe has left, who will come next? Can regulatory policies avoid being repeatedly executed like re-entrancy vulnerabilities...

Oh no, this is trouble. Who will speak up for us now that she's gone? Bad news... LaMothe is gone, and the SEC will probably start bothering us again. Memecoin can finally breathe, and now we have to start over? She was truly the only rational voice in crypto, and now she's gone... No, please don't change your tune, SEC. This time, they are likely to be unpredictable again. I bet five bucks. Wow, just after explaining the staking rules clearly, she's gone? She understood, everyone who understands knows. And now?

Damn, LaMothe just left, and the SEC is going to change its stance again... Now the good days for meme coins and staking are over.

Once LaMothe leaves, can the memecoin and staking policies still hold steady... It seems that the newcomers afterward might not be as knowledgeable.

LaMothe leaving is basically a soft power reset... watch how fast the memecoin clarity gets "reinterpreted" under new leadership, this is the real arbitrage play nobody's pricing in yet
