SEC Chair: Actively Advancing Project Crypto with CFTC to Support US as Global Crypto Hub
BlockBeats News, May 30th, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul Atkins stated during his speech at the 2026 Reagan National Economic Forum that the SEC is actively advancing former President Trump's goal of "Making America the Global Cryptocurrency Hub." The SEC is collaborating with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to promote Project Crypto, aiming to enhance the regulatory framework for the decentralized finance market.
Atkins mentioned that the SEC has issued guidance on digital asset classification, specifying which digital assets are securities and which are not. The SEC is also progressing towards an Innovation Exemption for tokenized securities and studying how to integrate on-chain trading systems into the existing regulatory structure.
He noted that the previous U.S. regulatory environment had hostility towards the digital asset industry, leading to significant innovation and businesses relocating overseas. Currently, the SEC and CFTC are strengthening regulatory coordination, ending the long-standing regulatory ambiguity, and providing market participants with a clearer compliance path.
Furthermore, Atkins announced that the SEC has proposed repealing the climate disclosure rule introduced by the previous administration and will continue to advance reforms such as reducing regulatory burdens on listed companies and encouraging corporate listings.
