Not surprised. We should understand that SEC and government will NEVER be on our side and support Bitcoin.
First, they were attacking stables and then made CBDC, and not they tried to destroy any exchange in the US just to control crypto and get profits from it lol.
It the end, it's all about money and control and not about people.
Question - can you cite at least one document or regulation of the SEC, which would ban or outlaw Bitcoin?
I'm sorry, but now it looks like you either manipulate the information or you don't know it!
The SEC has NO REQUEST for Bitcoin. There are questions about assets in alternative cryptocurrencies, which are essentially stocks or income securities. More precisely to the holders and beneficiaries, U.S. citizens

The only complaint is to anonymous currencies, which are very often used for illegal activities, but it seems to me it is quite logical.
If you will answer - please do it reasonably and provide links to the original documents !
