In her Law360 article “Have Private Suits Filled Gap Left by SEC’s Crypto Pullback?”, Director Simona Mola examines federal crypto litigation trends and compares private litigation activity with evolving SEC enforcement patterns.

The analysis identifies emerging trends and examines whether shifting SEC priorities may be reshaping litigation exposure across the broader crypto ecosystem.
