The SEC is considering new regulations, "streamlined" product launch timelines for crypto companies

SEC Chairman Paul Atkins stated that the agency is reviewing a new regulation, called the "innovation exemption," which allows crypto companies to launch products in the U.S. without having to comply with the cumbersome legal requirements of the past. This is a strong signal indicating a shift in the U.S. government's stance towards a more friendly and open attitude towards digital assets.

Paving the way for innovation

This regulation is expected to significantly reduce legal barriers, helping crypto startups bring products to market faster, without having to spend years obtaining licenses. The SEC aims to create a clear, stable environment for companies to develop new technologies, thereby helping the U.S. maintain its competitiveness with other regions around the world, such as Europe and Asia, in the digital asset sector.

Policy change

This move comes just four days after #SEC approved a fast-track licensing process for digital asset ETFs and is part of a series of changes since President Donald Trump took office. The SEC has withdrawn many lawsuits from the time of former Chairman Gary Gensler and established a dedicated team to reshape its approach to digital asset management.

If implemented, the "innovation exemption" could be a historic turning point, making the U.S. crypto market more "breathable" and potentially paving the way for many publicly listed blockchain projects (IPOs). The crypto community is awaiting specific details to fully assess the impact of this new regulation. #anhbacong
