Reyna Guiffaro’s CryptoFX association bar

What changed

The SEC barred Reyna Guiffaro from association with investment advisers and other specified financial firms on November 4, 2026. Guiffaro sold CryptoFX Venture Agreements, according to the order. The SEC previously alleged that CryptoFX promised returns from crypto-asset and foreign-exchange trading. Guiffaro consented without admitting most findings, while admitting jurisdiction and the underlying injunction. She may apply for reentry after 2 years.

Who it affects

• Investment advisers and broker-dealers cannot associate with Guiffaro while the bar applies.

What is still open

• The SEC or the appropriate self-regulatory organization must approve any reentry application.

What it means for an advisor

• Check Guiffaro’s association status before hiring her or establishing a business relationship covered by the order.
