The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has unveiled its regulatory agenda for the spring of 2025, focusing on potential rule proposals that will shape the landscape of crypto asset regulation. The agenda seeks to establish clearer guidelines for the issuance, trading, and custody of digital assets while ensuring investor protection. SEC Chairman Paul S. Atkins highlighted a key objective: defining rules governing the issuance, storage, and trading of crypto assets, all while preventing illegal activities. The report also proposes easing compliance burdens and increasing capital formation through proposals such as simplifying financing processes and enhancing investor access to private enterprises.
