ME News, April 26 (UTC+8): US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Paul Atkins has recently reiterated his push for “Project Crypto” and announced that he will work with the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to jointly develop a classification framework for digital assets, to clarify under what circumstances tokens will be deemed securities. Meanwhile, the SEC plans to roll out “innovation exemptions” to support trading tokenized securities on blockchains. Market participants view this action as a major shift in the SEC’s history of crypto regulation, signaling its gradual move away from the old model of “regulation by enforcement” and toward drafting clear rules. This could send a stronger entry signal for institutional capital that has been sitting on the sidelines for the long term, and push Bitcoin’s price to potentially break back above $80,000. Currently, Bitcoin is trading at about $77,586, and the market is watching for further statements from Paul Atkins at the April 26 meeting later this month. (Source: MLion)
