According to Foresight News, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has initiated a new program called 'Project Crypto.' This initiative aims to modernize securities regulations and oversight to facilitate the integration of blockchain technology into the U.S. financial markets. The SEC's move is part of a broader effort to adapt existing financial frameworks to accommodate the growing influence of digital assets and blockchain technology. By updating these regulations, the SEC seeks to ensure that the U.S. financial markets remain competitive and secure in the evolving digital landscape.
