🇺🇸 The United States Changes Its Position on DeFi
After years of pressure, the government is finally pivoting. The new SEC chairman has dropped the Coinbase case, criticized the agency's past approach, and has pushed for official recognition of DeFi as part of the financial system.
What's happening:
🔥 The Tornado Cash trial is still set for next month
🔥 But the SEC is now saying: past actions were a mistake
🔥 Staking is no longer considered a violation of securities law
🔥 Temporary rules are being drafted so that projects can launch before full regulation
🔥 Custody and DeFi are now being presented as fundamental American values
🔥 The last SEC event was literally titled "DeFi and the American Spirit"
Why it matters:
Stablecoins are now seen as tools to strengthen the dollar. Cryptocurrency companies are going public. Politicians on both sides are starting to support the industry - not out of love, but out of pragmatism.
This is not hype. This is a change.
And it opens the door to real projects with real users and sustainable models.
