Has the SEC finally changed its tune? Is the U.S. really ready to "welcome the crypto era"? This time, it might actually be different!

After watching the full speech of the SEC chairman on "Project Crypto" last night, I had only one feeling:

The U.S. might really be serious about embracing crypto this time. For the past few years, the word "regulation" has hung like a sword over every project.

As long as the SEC says, "this thing is a security," you would have to spend exorbitant amounts to hire a lawyer for a lawsuit, or simply run away to the Cayman Islands or Singapore, outright rejecting U.S. users with KYC, putting the entire industry on high alert.

But this time, the wind does seem to be blowing differently.

Key Point 1: The U.S. wants to "bring crypto companies home"

"We want real Web3 innovation to happen in the U.S."

This statement can be said to hit the nail on the head.

Do you know how many project founders live in California, have teams in Silicon Valley, yet dare not open the doors to U.S. users?

KYC is applied uniformly, and U.S. IPs are completely blocked, which is simply unreasonable.

Despite having the world's strongest capital markets, the U.S. has become a no-go zone for crypto startups.

Now they are finally starting to reflect: If they let technology and capital flow out unchecked, Web3 could awkwardly turn into a situation of "U.S. incubation, Asian takeoff."

Key Point 2: Regulation will be recalibrated to match blockchain logic

What has happened in the past?

Old laws designed for the securities market decades ago were forcibly imposed on blockchain projects.

No matter if you are writing smart contracts, developing protocols, or even just issuing a token to test an idea, you could be labeled as "illegally issuing securities."

The result is: developers live in fear, and fundraising has to be done secretly and indirectly.

This speech clearly mentioned: a new set of rules should be tailored for the crypto field, instead of simply copying the traditional regulatory framework.

The underlying logic has also changed — U.S. regulatory agencies have finally realized that blockchain is not "the 2.0 upgrade of securities," but a completely different new system.#加密市场回调 #美国加征关税 #加密项目
