In a bid to expedite crypto innovation, SEC Chair Mark Uyeda has proposed a temporary, limited regulatory framework that could offer relief to companies operating in the space while broader policy is developed. The proposal suggests conditional exemptive relief might provide a bridge for near-term growth without compromising oversight. Speaking at the April 11 Crypto Task Force roundtable “Between a Block and a Hard Place: Tailoring Regulation for Crypto Trading”, Uyeda emphasized that this time-limited framework could spur innovation in blockchain technology within the U.S. He called on the public to offer input on areas where such relief would have the most significant impact.
