Chairman Paul Atkins of the US Securities and Exchange Commission has unveiled \u201cProject Crypto,\u201d a scheme to modernize the agency for the digital finance era and create distinct regulations for digital assets in the United States.<\/p>\n

Atkins indicated that Project Crypto was a direct outcome of advice from a recent report<\/a> from the President’s Working Group on Digital Assets, which he referred to as the \u201cblueprint\u201d for effective crypto regulation in the United States. Atkins stated<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Many of the Commission\u2019s historical rules and regulations are illogical in the twenty-first century \u2014 much less for on-chain markets. The Commission must overhaul its regulatory framework to prevent barriers from obstructing advancement and competition \u2014 both from emerging players and established firms \u2014 to the detriment of Main Street.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Equipping the SEC for internet capital markets and on-chain finance has been a declared objective of the new SEC chair and a means to solidify US preeminence in crypto.\u00a0<\/p>\n
