In May 2025, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced plans to create new rules for regulating cryptocurrency tokens classified as securities. The goal of the initiative is to ensure greater transparency and investor protection amid the rapid growth of the cryptocurrency market. SEC Chairman Gary Gensler emphasized the need for clear standards and accountability for crypto platforms. The possibility of allowing registered broker-dealers to trade major cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, is also being discussed. These steps indicate a shift from repressive measures to attempts to integrate cryptocurrencies into the existing financial system through clear legislative regulation.
