SEC Chairman Paul Atkins has launched Project Crypto—a sweeping reform to modernize U.S. securities regulation for the blockchain age. Announced on July 31, 2025, it aims to make the U.S. a global crypto leader.
🔍 Key Pillars
Clear Asset Rules – Defining whether tokens are securities, commodities, or stablecoins.
Modern Capital Formation – Safe harbor rules for ICOs, airdrops, and token rewards.
On-Chain Market Reforms – Support for tokenized securities, in-kind ETF processes, and unified licensing.
Breaking from the Past
Atkins says “most crypto assets are not securities”, marking a shift from the enforcement-heavy approach of past leadership. The SEC already approved in-kind creations/redemptions for crypto ETPs.
