It would appear the SEC isn't interested in going after Proof of Work currencies, at least for the time being. First and foremost tho is the question of whether or not there is an "expectation of profit" one can assume when purchasing a cryptocurrency. Musk never promised anything regarding Dogecoin. Second is whether or not there is a specific governing body that steers the direction of a coin's development -- neither BTC or DOGE have such things.
As someone who's been following his DOGE-related moves rather closely, Elon did say he was going to accept DOGE for SpaceX merch payments. That's the one thing he said that he hasn't followed through with yet.

I said it in another thread: the SEC is only interested in making a show as if they're doing something and going after the easiest targets. They'll either go after perpetrators who are clearly guilty, trying to flee, shutting down the business, cleaning accounts, or they go after people with money who the SEC know can pay the fine.
I don't like XRP but the SEC was so eager to shut them down and move on to another target, but Ripple lawyered up good and defended and now when Gensler was asked if it's a security he didn't answer.
Now he doesn't even know what is and what isn't a security. He's too scared of being sued by everyone.
Gensler said Coinbase allowed for trading of unregistered securities but he didn't sue Coinbase. He allowed FTX to scam people, but rejected Ark Investment and Grayscale bitcoin ETFs, that had all the proper paperwork. What a clown world this is.
