For years, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was seen as the number one enemy of the crypto ecosystem. Lawsuits, blockages, and regulation that many considered outdated. But something is changing… and it could open a giant door for the future of cryptocurrencies.
Commissioner Hester Peirce has suggested that companies issuing security tokens on blockchain technology could be exempt from several registration requirements. The reason? Current regulations do not match the technological innovation represented by the crypto space. This would include platforms like decentralized exchanges (DEX), which could operate without registering as brokers or stock exchanges.
Furthermore, the new administration under Paul Atkins, nominated by President Trump, has begun to trim the SEC's jurisdiction over certain assets. In April, they even clarified that stablecoins do not qualify as securities if used solely for payments.
This shift could be a major boost for the entire Web3 ecosystem, allowing more companies to build without fear of sanctions… but it could also create space for risks if not managed responsibly.
Are we witnessing a historic change? Will this drive new projects or bring more speculation?
