ADVANCING CRYPTOCURRENCY REGULATION
Cryptocurrency regulation in the United States is advancing strongly under the administration of Donald Trump. In an interview on June 4, 2025, SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce highlighted the government's interest in accelerating regulatory clarity for digital assets.
Since January 21, 2025, the SEC has taken concrete steps to structure a new regulatory framework. Among the first changes, a working group dedicated exclusively to cryptocurrencies was created, led by Peirce. The main objective of this team is to reduce legal uncertainty and allow innovation in blockchain and digital assets to thrive within a regulated environment.
Another key factor has been the change in leadership within the SEC. With the departure of Gary Gensler on January 20, 2025, the arrival of Paul Atkins has marked a more open stance towards the crypto ecosystem. Atkins has actively participated in forums and dialogues with industry companies, showing interest in establishing transparent rules that foster market growth.
The impact on the industry has been immediate. Blockchain-related companies have expressed renewed optimism about the future of regulation in the United States. The reduced regulatory pressure and the government's willingness to collaborate with the sector could boost new investments and facilitate the adoption of decentralized technologies.
This is going to get better. In the coming months, the market will continue to pay attention to regulatory decisions that could change the crypto landscape in the United States.
