5 min readSEC Chair Signals Major Crypto Rules Are Coming
SEC Chair Paul Atkins told a summit today that the agency will soon propose a regulatory framework for crypto token fundraising under the Securities Act of 1933, and will also introduce an innovation exemption for decentralized finance under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The comments came at the Digital Assets and Emerging Tech Policy Summit, co-hosted by Vanderbilt University and the Blockchain Association.

The SEC and CFTC are effectively front-running the Clarity Act, the comprehensive crypto legislation currently stalled in the Senate over disagreements on banking, stablecoins, and yield. As the host notes, the agencies would have had to do this rulemaking anyway if the Clarity Act passed, but they are moving ahead regardless. "The agencies like the SEC and the CFTC, they do the enforcing," the host explains. "It's not so much Congress passing a bill, it is the agencies who have to take action."
