Insider trading is a crime. The SEC cannot bring criminal complaints. Every insider trader who has gone to jail was prosecuted by the DoJ.

According to SEC: https://www.investor.gov/introduction-investing/investing-ba...

FBI: https://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/insider-trading

Only talk about securities. It seems to me as if it would depend a lot on if the digital asset(s) in question count as securities or not.

Nope, insider trading is a type of fraud, they’ll be charged with wire fraud and the question on securities will never arise
