SEC Chairman Atkins introduced an extensive crypto-focused agenda, emphasizing clear guidelines for issuing, holding, and trading crypto assets. This strategy seeks to provide regulatory clarity and market stability while deterring violations within the emerging digital asset sphere.
The agenda plans a rule on crypto asset sales by April, with provisions for exemptions and safe harbors. It also addresses easing constraints on securities firms and reassessing the consolidated audit trail system for improved oversight.
Furthermore, the SEC and CFTC issued joint guidance permitting registered platforms to conduct spot crypto trading. Atkins’ ‘Project Crypto’ is designed to propel the crypto sector toward mainstream finance, signaling a major regulatory shift.
