SEC Chair Discloses What’s Next For Crypto Regulation At ETH Denver
SEC Chair Paul Atkins outlined the agency's upcoming crypto regulatory agenda at ETH Denver. Despite congressional delays on the CLARITY Act, the SEC is advancing its own initiatives through "Project Crypto," a joint effort with the CFTC. Key plans include a formal framework to determine when crypto assets are investment contracts, an "innovation exemption" for limited trading of tokenized securities, and new rules for crypto capital raising. The agency will also issue no-action letters and update custody rules for non-security crypto assets, including stablecoins. Atkins emphasized that the SEC's role is not to react to market downturns but to provide clear rules and disclosures for informed investor decisions.
