SEC SIGNALS NEW DIRECTION REGULATION IS CHANGING!
Following the May 12 roundtable, SEC Chair Paul Atkins hinted at a major shift:
The SEC is stepping back from “regulation by enforcement” and moving toward clear, actionable rules for the crypto space.
Here’s what’s on the table:
1️⃣ Custody Expansion
Institutions could soon gain greater flexibility to securely custody digital assets like $$BNB through compliant, robust solutions.
2️⃣ Legal Clarity
Certain tokens may lose their “security” label, opening the door to safe harbor protections and fewer regulatory roadblocks, huge for developers and builders.
3️⃣ Commission Divide ⚖️
• Hester Peirce: Supports innovation and asset tokenization
• Caroline Crenshaw: Voices concerns about favoritism and regulatory imbalance
Bottom line
If this policy pivot sticks, U.S. crypto could be headed for a breakout:
More regulatory clarity → Increased institutional entry → Accelerated adoption
