最新报道：In a keynote address to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), new U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul Atkins reiterated that "most crypto tokens are not securities" as the agency continues to draft guidance favorable to the industry. Most notably, Atkins stated that entrepreneurs and investors should be able to raise capital on-chain "without being trapped in endless legal uncertainty," paving the way for "super-app" trading platforms that increase "choice for market participants." "As we call on our partners to foster investor confidence and dynamic markets in their jurisdictions, the same priorities drive us in the United States to unleash the potential of digital assets," Atkins said. In an initiative Atkins calls "Project Crypto," part of President Donald Trump's efforts to turn the United States into the "crypto capital of the world," the SEC is working to "modernize securities rules and regulations to enable our markets to operate on-chain." This, Atkins said, includes providing clearer guidance on the "security status of crypto assets" and opening the door for trading platforms to offer trading, lending, and staking services "under a single regulatory framework." The move comes amid a dramatic shift in the US regulatory approach to cryptocurrencies during Trump's second term. This summer, lawmakers were able to pass the first major cryptocurrency legislation regarding stablecoins and have since made progress on the Clarity Market Structure Act, which would, in part, place the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission in charge of market oversight. Atkins noted that the previous administration, under former President Biden, waged an ineffective campaign against cryptocurrencies that hampered the industry's growth. "For too long, the SEC has used its investigative, subpoena, and enforcement powers to subvert the cryptocurrency industry," Atkins said. "This approach is not only ineffective, but harmful; it drives jobs, innovation, and capital overseas. American entrepreneurs have borne the brunt of the consequences—and have been forced to spend vast sums on building legal defenses rather than conducting business. This chapter belongs in history." "I believe regulators should provide the minimum effective dose of regulation necessary to protect investors, and nothing more," he added, praising the work of the Crypto Working Group, led by SEC Commissioner Hester Pierce, which is working to clarify the rules for cryptocurrency participants, including in the areas of tokenization and staking. “Our goal is simple: to spark a golden age of financial innovation here in the United States,” Atkins said. “Whether it’s through tokenized stock ledgers or entirely new asset classes, we want to achieve breakthroughs in U.S. markets, under U.S. oversight, and for the benefit of American investors.” The SEC and Commodity Futures Trading Commission recently announced a roundtable on September 29th, where they will discuss bringing “innovative products” like perpetual swaps and DeFi back to the U.S.
