#美SEC推进SECCrypto2.0计划 The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is currently advancing the 'SEC Crypto 2.0' initiative, aimed at strengthening the regulation of digital assets while balancing financial innovation and investor protection. Here are the main contents and background of the initiative:
### 1. **Establishment of a New Presidential Cryptocurrency Task Force**
- The SEC has announced the establishment of the 'Presidential Cryptocurrency Task Force 2.0' to further promote the development of a digital asset regulatory framework.
- The task force aims to clarify the trading rules for digital asset securities, ensuring that both on-chain and off-chain transactions comply with the same reporting requirements as traditional securities.
### 2. **Regulatory Focus and Measures**
- **Strengthening Off-Chain Transaction Regulation**: The SEC plans to establish investor protection and market structure standards for off-chain trading activities on trading platforms.
- **Improving Transaction Reporting Mechanism**: The SEC intends to amend the Securities Exchange Act rules to require timely reporting of all transactions considered to be digital asset securities.
- **Establishing a Cross-Agency Digital Asset Trading Repository (DART)**: The SEC will collaborate with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to jointly authorize and oversee a digital asset trading repository to enhance market transparency.
### 3. **Policy Background and Transition**
- This initiative marks the SEC's shift from a 'law enforcement-centric' approach to a 'rule-making-centric' approach, aiming to provide a clearer regulatory framework for the cryptocurrency industry.
- Following the Trump administration's entry, there has been a leadership adjustment at the SEC, with new acting chairman Mark Uyeda and commissioner Hester Peirce promoting a more favorable cryptocurrency regulatory policy, reducing the stringent enforcement tendencies of former chairman Gary Gensler.
### 4. **Industry Response and Controversy**
- The cryptocurrency industry has long criticized the SEC for its unclear regulations, and this reform is seen as a signal of policy easing.
- However, some SEC insiders (such as commissioner Caroline Crenshaw) remain concerned about the reduction in enforcement actions, believing it may undermine regulatory credibility.
### 5. **Future Outlook**
- If cryptocurrency-friendly individuals (such as Teresa Goody Guillén) formally take over as SEC chairman, it may further promote the optimization of the regulatory framework and facilitate the development of the digital asset market.
- Meanwhile, the SEC still needs to balance the interests of traditional financial regulation with those of the emerging cryptocurrency industry to ensure market stability and investor protection.
