SEC’s Push For Crypto Clarity: New Rules On The Horizon To Address Industry Challenges
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under President Donald Trump's administration has pivoted toward the cryptocurrency sector, unveiling an ambitious agenda to modernize digital asset regulations. This move addresses longstanding industry concerns about burdensome rules, signaling a potential easing of compliance hurdles.
Proposed rules may introduce exemptions and safe harbors for crypto asset offerings, while amendments could allow trading on national exchanges—a development poised to boost liquidity and adoption. SEC Chair Paul Atkins framed the agenda as a turning point, emphasizing innovation, capital formation, and investor protection.
