Big news from Washington – the White House just dropped a directive that's got regulatory watchers buzzing. The SEC Chairman is now officially tasked with conducting a comprehensive review of everything related to proxy advisors. We're talking rules, regulations, bulletins – the whole nine yards.

This isn't just bureaucratic housekeeping. Proxy advisors have been playing an increasingly influential role in corporate governance decisions, and their recommendations can significantly impact shareholder votes. For the crypto and Web3 space, this matters because these advisors often weigh in on governance proposals at publicly traded companies with blockchain exposure.

The move signals a potential shift in how proxy advisory firms operate and the level of scrutiny they face. Market participants should keep an eye on how this unfolds – regulatory changes at the SEC level tend to have ripple effects across financial markets, including digital assets.

The SEC is causing trouble again; this wave of proxy advisors is probably going to be under close scrutiny.

Another round of regulatory review? Is the SEC just bored or are they really planning to take it seriously... Proxy advisor really needs to be looked into carefully. --- The influence of proxy advisors is so significant. Why wasn't anyone taking it seriously before? Now suddenly it's gaining attention, it's quite interesting. --- Wait, what does this have to do with our crypto circle? That corporate governance stuff... feels like just patching up traditional finance again. --- The SEC is busy again. Are they going to change a bunch of rules this time, leaving everyone confused? --- Basically, it's the proxy advisor's power being too great. Retail investors have no say at all. Should investigate. --- Ripple effect... I just want to know if it will eventually impact governance voting in crypto projects. --- This news is interesting, but how it will actually be implemented is still unknown. Let's wait for official details; talking about it now is pointless. --- The regulatory boot hasn't landed yet, everyone, don't rush to get off the train.

Another classic move by the SEC, this time targeting proxy advisors? Basically, they just want to control voting rights. --- Proxy advisors are about to be turned upside down, it's kind of interesting... The crypto community's governance also needs to keep up. --- I just want to ask, will they really change or is this just another false alarm? --- Does this have any substantial impact on governance tokens on public blockchains, or is it just regulatory show? --- The US keeps changing rules all the time, we need to prepare in advance. --- It sounds serious, but when it will actually be implemented, who knows, maybe in a million years. --- Proxy systems should have been investigated long ago; they hold too much power. --- The SEC is stirring things up again... Should the crypto prices shake a bit because of this? --- Feels like they're lining up behind big corporations, which isn't beneficial for small investors. --- Is this operation subtly paving the way for certain large institutions?

Here we go again, proxy advisor's approach... honestly, it's still about tightening the voice in on-chain governance.

so proxy advisors getting the full forensic treatment now... kinda reminds me of how gatekeepers always panic when their authority gets questioned. the real question is whether this audit becomes theater or actually deconstructs their influence machine. tbh the crypto angle here is almost secondary—the deeper play is about who gets to author the meta-narrative of corporate governance itself
