# SEC Reports 348 Enforcement Actions for Fiscal 2026, Down From 456 By Riza Dagoc Canonical URL: https://www.tokenpost.com/news/regulation/54333 Published: 2026-11-11T18:51:11.000Z Updated: 2026-11-11T18:51:11.000Z Section: Regulation > The total includes 235 standalone actions. The SEC reported $1.095 billion in ordered relief but gave no separate count for crypto-related cases. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reported 348 enforcement actions for fiscal 2026, 108 fewer than a year earlier, but provided no separate total for crypto-related cases. The fiscal year ended Sept. 30. The total included 235 standalone actions, compared with 303 in fiscal 2025. Two-thirds of this year's standalone actions included charges against at least one individual. Ordered monetary relief totaled $1.095 billion. That included $752 million in disgorgement and prejudgment interest and $343 million in civil penalties. A court in a separate, non-SEC action deemed $235 million of the disgorgement satisfied. The SEC also returned about $731 million to more than 250,000 harmed investors during the year. SEC Chair Paul S. Atkins said enforcement actions and financial remedies are important measures of activity, but not the only or most telling measures. The SEC's new Office of Super Intelligence and Analytics uses tools that include blockchain and financial-flow analysis. Efforts by its Retail Fraud Working Group had resulted in more than a dozen new investigations. The new total is higher than an [earlier 308-action estimate](); the two figures reflect different counting methods. The SEC's annual tally does not show how the number of crypto-related actions changed. ## Links in this article - [earlier 308-action estimate](https://www.tokenpost.com/news/regulation/36817)
