CoinDesk·2h ago·Neutral
What Happened
SEC Chair Paul Atkins said Monday the agency is close to proposing a "regulation crypto" to clarify oversight of the cryptocurrency industry. The regulation addresses the Securities Act of 1933 and covers fundraising and startup exemptions. It awaits approval from the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. The SEC also plans to release an innovation exemption soon, designed to help startups experiment without disadvantaging existing companies. Atkins emphasized Congress's role in crypto policy.
