#ProjectCrypto A major organizational shift in the landscape of digital currencies in the United States.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially launched the "Crypto" project, a bold modernization initiative aimed at reshaping how digital assets are regulated. Led by its chair Gary Gensler, the agency is abandoning its hardline stance on enforcement, embracing a framework that encourages innovation, protects self-custody rights, and provides regulatory clarity for both startups and institutions.
Key proposals include:
- A unified licensing model for digital asset brokerage firms
- A clear distinction between commodities and securities
