#ProjectCrypto Project Crypto is the new official initiative of the SEC, announced by the chairman Paul Atkins, aimed at integrating blockchain technology and tokenization into the management of financial securities in the United States. The project aims to overcome the regulatory barriers that have so far kept digital assets, smart contracts, and digital representations of public securities away from traditional financial markets.

In practice, the aim is to allow investors and institutions to trade traditional securities like stocks and bonds directly on the blockchain, through digital tokens, without going through a complex chain of intermediaries.

This is a response to the growing demand for tokenization — that is, the representation on blockchain of real assets and securities — which in recent months has seen a surge of interest from major investment platforms and institutional operators.
