🇺🇸 SEC Launches ‘Project Crypto’ to Modernize Digital Asset Rules
Big regulatory shift incoming! The U.S. SEC has just announced Project Crypto, a major initiative to update securities laws for the crypto era.
👨⚖️ SEC Chair Paul Atkins says legacy rules don’t fit 21st-century on-chain finance. His new framework aims to:
✅ Simplify licensing for crypto firms
✅ Separate commodities (like BTC/ETH) from securities
✅ Offer regulatory grace periods for early-stage projects & DAOs
✅ Protect self-custody rights
📜 This move follows a July report from the White House Working Group on Digital Assets, pushing for clearer market structure, stablecoin rules, and CFTC/SEC coordination.
🚀 Since taking charge, Atkins has:
• Ended “regulation by enforcement”
• Approved crypto ETF in-kind redemptions
• Clarified that staking rewards aren’t securities
With Project Crypto, the SEC is aligning itself with innovation — not fighting it.
