On May 27, 2025, crypto influencer Amelie posted a tweet drawing attention to unexpected issues on the official website of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The tweet captioned a screenshot that shows the SEC website displaying an error that reads “This page is temporarily unavailable.”
Amelie’s tweet read: “WHAT’S GOING ON AT THE SEC? THE U.S. SEC WEBSITE IS ‘TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE’ KINDA FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS BREWING… #XRP”

Screenshots Show Disruptions on SEC Website
The screenshots included in the post show a standard SEC web interface. Rather than loading the intended content, the user met a message saying, “This page is temporarily unavailable. Please check back again soon. We regret any inconvenience, and we thank you for your interest in the SEC website.” The image also included a suggestion to report the issue to the SEC’s webmaster via email.
Upon a follow-up attempt by Times Tabloid to access the same page, it displayed an “Oops! Page Not Found” message with an accompanying 404 error code. This type of error generally indicates that a web page cannot be found on the server, often due to a broken link, a moved resource, or a removed page.

User Reactions Offer Possible Explanations
In the replies to Amelie’s post, an X user named XRPete commented, “Perhaps it’s just an update,” offering a possible routine explanation for the outage. However, no official communication from the SEC had been released at the time of writing to clarify the reason behind the downtime or the error messages being displayed.
XRP Mention Draws Renewed Attention to SEC Activities
Although website outages are not uncommon for government websites—often occurring due to scheduled maintenance, system updates, or unexpected technical glitches—the timing and the focus of Amelie’s tweet have drawn increased attention within certain sectors of the crypto community.
The reference to XRP in the post is notable, as the SEC has been involved in a high-profile legal dispute involving the digital asset for several years. While Amelie did not make any direct claims about the cause of the site’s unavailability, her tweet has led some users to speculate about possible developments related to regulatory actions.
At present, no formal announcement has been made by the SEC regarding the cause of the page’s unavailability. Until further information is provided by the SEC, the reason for the site’s temporary inaccessibility remains unconfirmed.
