WASHINGTON, D.C. – Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Paul Atkins is scheduled to deliver a highly anticipated address tomorrow morning at 8:30 a.m. ET, focusing on the agency's recently unveiled "Project Crypto." The initiative, which seeks to modernize the U.S. regulatory framework for digital assets, is a significant shift from previous regulatory approaches.
Announced on July 31, 2025, Project Crypto is a comprehensive, Commission-wide effort designed to position the United States as a global leader in the digital finance sector. A core component of the project is the development of clear guidelines to help market participants determine whether a crypto asset should be classified as a security, a commodity, or another type of digital asset. Chair Atkins has emphasized a move away from "regulation by enforcement" toward creating "bright-line rules" and "purpose-fit disclosures, exemptions, and safe harbors" to encourage innovation while protecting investors.#CryptoProject
