We are seeing and making a lot of space in the cryptographic sector ... I would expect to see more of this, "said Stephanie Avakian, co-director of the SEC's Enforcement Division, at a conference on Thursday, March 15.

 It is not known exactly what the official is referring to but it seems that there are apparently more irregularities around Ethereum and its active pupil, Ether.
