In a landmark policy shift, SEC Chair Paul Atkins declared that most crypto assets do not qualify as securities, launching Project Crypto to modernize U.S. securities laws for blockchain-native assets.
Key initiatives include:
- Clear guidelines for token classification
- Parallel trading frameworks for crypto and traditional securities
This marks a sharp departure from the Biden-era enforcement-first approach, signaling a more rules-based and innovation-friendly regulatory environment.
Despite the regulatory tailwind, the market continued to slide. However, according to Bernstein Research, this correction is not the start of a bear market, but rather a healthy pullback in an early-stage bull cycle.
