SEC Chair Paul Atkins Announces Regulatory Overhaul for Crypto Securities
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is drafting new rules tailored to crypto assets classified as securities, Chair Paul Atkins revealed at a Crypto Task Force roundtable. Current regulations, he argued, fail to address the unique challenges posed by digital assets.
The proposed framework aims to establish rational governance for this emerging asset class. "Tokenization demands fresh thinking," Atkins remarked during his keynote, signaling a shift from the SEC’s traditionally cautious stance. Market participants anticipate the changes could clarify compliance pathways for blockchain-based securities.
