In a report dated October 31, the Office of the Ethics Counsel highlighted the issue, noting that “many well-qualified candidates hold crypto assets, which, according to the office’s findings, would disqualify them from working on specific matters related to crypto assets.

”This restriction, according to SEC officials, has posed challenges in recruiting as candidates are often unwilling to divest their crypto assets to join the SEC.
