#CryptoRoundTableRemarks The Securities and Exchange Commission just pulled a complete 180 on cryptocurrency regulation, and it's about time.

At a groundbreaking roundtable last week, SEC Chair Mark Atkins delivered a message that would have been unthinkable under the previous administration: engineers shouldn't face federal prosecution for writing code. Period.

This isn't just regulatory housekeeping—it's a fundamental shift in how America treats financial innovation. For years, crypto developers lived in constant fear that their open-source projects could land them in legal hot water. The previous SEC treated every smart contract like a potential securities violation, effectively telling America's brightest minds to take their innovations elsewhere.
