#CryptoRegulation

The cryptocurrency working group has sought to provide clarity on the application of federal securities laws to the cryptocurrency asset market and to recommend practical policy measures aimed at fostering innovation and protecting investors.

The cryptocurrency working group is collaborating with agency staff and the public to help map a new approach to regulating cryptocurrency assets. The focus of the cryptocurrency working group will include assets generally known as digital assets, crypto assets, cryptocurrencies, digital currencies, tokens, as well as protocols. The cryptocurrency working group will help draw clear regulatory lines, appropriately distinguish between securities and non-securities, craft tailored disclosure frameworks, provide realistic pathways for the registration of both crypto assets and market intermediaries, ensure that investors have the necessary information to make investment decisions, and ensure that enforcement resources are wisely employed.
