🚨 SEC Launches “Project Crypto” – Biggest U.S. Shift Toward Blockchain Yet

The U.S. SEC, led by Chair Paul Atkins, has just announced Project Crypto — a sweeping plan to modernize securities regulations and bring U.S. capital markets on‑chain.

This initiative builds on President Trump’s GENIUS Act and the PWG Report, signaling the most pro‑crypto stance the SEC has ever taken.

Key Highlights:

Token Clarity: New rules to define when tokens are (or aren’t) securities, plus safe harbors for airdrops, rewards, and network tokens.

Tokenized Assets: Pathways to trade stocks and bonds directly on blockchain rails.

Custody Modernization: Recognizing both institutional and self‑custody models.

Super‑App Licenses: One license to operate trading, custody, lending, and staking in one place.

Faster Transition: Interim exemptions to allow innovation while formal rules develop.

Atkins said “most crypto assets are not securities,” marking a massive pivot from previous enforcement heavy policies. If implemented, this could cement the U.S. as the global hub for digital finance.
