**US SEC Advances SECCrypto 2.0 Plan to Strengthen Cryptocurrency Regulatory Framework**
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently announced the acceleration of the "SECCrypto 2.0" plan, marking a new phase in the regulation of the cryptocurrency market. This plan aims to address compliance issues related to the issuance, trading, and custody of crypto assets by improving the existing regulatory framework, focusing on three main areas: first, clarifying the classification standards for security tokens and utility tokens, delineating the scope of securities law; second, requiring crypto trading platforms to enhance registration processes and strengthen client asset segregation mechanisms; third, increasing audit oversight of stablecoin issuers to prevent systemic risks.
This upgrade is seen as a targeted repair by the SEC in response to industry loopholes following the FTX incident. Chairman Gary Gensler emphasized that while recognizing the innovative value of blockchain technology, investor protection and market integrity cannot be compromised. The new regulations may require project teams to enhance the transparency of information disclosure and for exchanges to implement stricter anti-money laundering measures. Notably, the plan will for the first time include DeFi protocols and the NFT market in the regulatory scope, holding smart contract developers to greater legal responsibilities.
Market analysis suggests that SECCrypto 2.0 could trigger a deep reshuffle in the industry, with higher compliance thresholds potentially forcing small and medium-sized institutions to transform, but in the long run, it will help build a trustworthy market environment. Stocks of compliant exchanges like Coinbase have risen in response, while some anonymous coin projects face delisting pressure. After the implementation of this plan, the U.S. is expected to form the most stringent cryptocurrency regulatory network in the world, paving the way for traditional financial institutions to enter the market.
