The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is unveiling new regulations for crypto assets, aiming to foster innovation while ensuring investor protection. Chairman Paul Atkins announced that the SEC will utilize rulemaking and exemptions instead of enforcement, setting clear guidelines for trading, issuance, and custody processes. This move seeks to bring stability to the crypto market and attract investment. The SEC’s new approach focuses on defining crypto assets as securities or investment contracts, requiring issuers to adhere to clear disclosure rules for projects launching digital tokens. This will help prevent misleading promotions and confusion in the market.
