SEC Commissioner Uyeda defends quorum rule revisions

  • —Amendments adopted September 30, 2026, and effective October 2
  • —SEC now has two commissioners after Hester Peirce's departure, with three seats vacant
  • —A single eligible commissioner can establish a quorum when others are disqualified
  • —Changes were enacted without a notice-and-comment period as an internal management matter
Why it matters: Faster quorum rules could speed up SEC decisions on crypto custody and operational rules, but single-commissioner actions may face more legal challenges.
