The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is shifting its crypto regulatory policy towards pro-growth measures under Chairman Paul Atkins. The new approach emphasizes clarity, rulemaking, and institutional adoption, reducing enforcement risks and focusing on traditional misconduct. Key initiatives include 'Project Crypto' and the Innovation Exemption, which aim to foster innovation in the sector. Additionally, the SEC is expediting approvals for crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) and testing the tokenization of major assets to enhance liquidity and improve crypto markets. These regulatory changes are part of broader federal efforts to bolster the U.S. position in the digital finance landscape.
