The SEC might finally be giving crypto a breather. Chair Paul Atkins wants a new “innovation exemption.”
This plan would let crypto projects skip some rules—temporarily. The catch? They must meet certain conditions.
Atkins says this could fast-track onchain services and help the U.S. become a true crypto hub.
It’s part of a shift from lawsuits to actual policymaking. No more regulation-by-surprise.
Atkins also took a swipe at ex-SEC chair Gary Gensler’s era, blaming him for using lawsuits instead of clear rules.
Now, with Trump’s vision to make the U.S. a crypto capital, the SEC is rethinking its game.
New rules might even recognize that software—not brokers—can run finance.
A task force launched earlier this year is still writing the rulebook. First report’s coming soon.
If it all works, crypto in the U.S. might actually get a fair shot—for once.
Footnote: “Onchain” means transactions or services that happen directly on the blockchain. The “innovation exemption” would allow flexibility in applying existing financial rules.
