The 'Crypto Project' and the end of modernization: a regulatory change for the digital age
08-08-2025
Key conclusions
Project Crypto, an initiative launched by the U.S. SEC last week, proposes a forward-looking framework to regulate digital assets, emphasizing safe harbor periods, the functional classification of tokens, clarity of custody, and a unified licensing regime for integrated platforms.
This represents a fundamental shift: moving from trying to apply outdated securities rules to blockchain technology to a tailored, technology-native regulation.
The new approach is based on recent bipartisan legislation and the global push towards clearer and more modern cryptocurrency oversight. For both users and developers, it heralds a future where innovation and regulatory compliance are no longer at odds.
