SEC Move Toward Unified Crypto and Securities Trading Could Reshape Markets
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is laying groundwork for institutional platforms to custody and trade both cryptocurrency assets and traditional securities simultaneously. This regulatory shift, described by analyst firm Midas as the dawn of the "one platform era," may eliminate artificial barriers between digital and conventional markets.
SEC Chair Paul Atkins’ comments suggest a future where capital moves freely between asset classes. "SEC wants institutions to custody and trade both securities and non-securities under one roof," Midas reported, noting the potential for accelerated institutional adoption. Market analysts anticipate improved liquidity flows could follow such integration.
