According to Mars Finance, on August 20, Paul Atkins, the chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), recently reiterated his friendly stance towards cryptocurrencies, emphasizing that 'very few' tokens fall under the category of securities. This statement marks a significant shift from the regulatory attitude of the previous administration. During his attendance at the blockchain seminar in Wyoming on Tuesday, Paul Atkins clearly stated: 'The SEC will actively promote new ideas — tokens themselves do not necessarily, and very likely do not, belong to securities. In my view, very few tokens truly meet the definition of securities, and it largely depends on their accompanying plans and sales methods.' This statement is the latest policy signal from the SEC following its launch of 'Project Crypto' last month. The initiative was described by the chairman as an important part of the 'modernization' reform of securities laws, aimed at facilitating the transition of U.S. financial markets to on-chain operations. Paul Atkins emphasized, 'Especially for the crypto industry, a new era has arrived. We support innovation, and now is the time to embrace it. We must build a crypto market framework that can withstand regulatory arbitrage and ensure it is future-oriented. I look forward to working hand in hand with government departments and colleagues in Congress to advance this mission.'
