So far, the SEC has been rather quiet about the impact of last week's bank failures. Here is a brief statement from SEC Chair Gary Gensler:

"In times of increased volatility and uncertainty, we at the SEC are particularly focused on monitoring for market stability and identifying and prosecuting any form of misconduct that might threaten investors, capital formation, or the markets more broadly. Without speaking to any individual entity or person, we will investigate and bring enforcement actions if we find violations of the federal securities laws."
