The entire crypto market, for context, is collectively worth $3.8 trillion at writing\u2014a tiny fraction of the $120 trillion U.S. capital markets under the SEC\u2019s purview.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-meta-serif-pro scene:font-noto-sans scene:text-base scene:md:text-lg font-normal text-lg md:text-xl md:leading-9 tracking-px text-body gg-dark:text-neutral-100\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\">This regulatory agenda reflects that it <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight:400\">is<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> a new day at the Securities and Exchange Commission,\u201d SEC chair Paul Atkins said today in a statement. \u201cA key priority of my Chairmanship is clear rules of the road for the issuance, custody, and trading of crypto assets while continuing to discourage bad actors from violating the law.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border:0\" src=\"https:\/\/linea.myriadprotocol.com\/embed\/market\/dogecoin-s-next-move-pump-to-0-30-or-dump-to-0-15\" width=\"100%\" height=\"415px\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display:inline-block;width:0px;overflow:hidden;line-height:0\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-meta-serif-pro scene:font-noto-sans scene:text-base scene:md:text-lg font-normal text-lg md:text-xl md:leading-9 tracking-px text-body gg-dark:text-neutral-100\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Proposed crypto rules announced by the SEC today include one recommendation to create rules relating to the offer and sale of crypto assets, as well as certain related exemptions and safe harbors. Such rules were promised by Atkins earlier this summer upon his <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/decrypt.co\/333001\/sec-chair-paul-atkins-project-crypto-icos-airdrops\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sc-adb616fe-0 bJsyml\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">announcement<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> of the regulator\u2019s \u201cProject Crypto\u201d initiative.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-meta-serif-pro scene:font-noto-sans scene:text-base scene:md:text-lg font-normal text-lg md:text-xl md:leading-9 tracking-px text-body gg-dark:text-neutral-100\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Another proposed rule would amend rules related to the agency\u2019s interpretation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, to enable the trading of crypto assets on U.S. securities exchanges. Earlier this week, the SEC and CFTC jointly released a <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/decrypt.co\/337811\/exchanges-sec-cftc-facilitate-spot-crypto-trading\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sc-adb616fe-0 bJsyml\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">statement<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> encouraging traditional commodities and securities exchanges to explore listing spot crypto assets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-meta-serif-pro scene:font-noto-sans scene:text-base scene:md:text-lg font-normal text-lg md:text-xl md:leading-9 tracking-px text-body gg-dark:text-neutral-100\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Other moves could upend longstanding SEC interpretations of New Deal-era financial regulations. Per today\u2019s announcement, the agency plans to consider creating crypto carve-outs to its broker-dealer financial responsibility rules, and even redefining the term \u201cdealer\u201d itself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-meta-serif-pro scene:font-noto-sans scene:text-base scene:md:text-lg font-normal text-lg md:text-xl md:leading-9 tracking-px text-body gg-dark:text-neutral-100\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The terms \u201cbroker\u201d and \u201cdealer\u201d, as laid out in the 1934 Securities Exchange Act, are foundational to the SEC\u2019s mission and jurisdiction. They define which individuals and entities are in the business of buying securities for others or themselves, and thus fall under the SEC\u2019s stringent regulatory regime.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-meta-serif-pro scene:font-noto-sans scene:text-base scene:md:text-lg font-normal text-lg md:text-xl md:leading-9 tracking-px text-body gg-dark:text-neutral-100\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The SEC has been vocal since the beginning about the second Trump administration\u2019s aggressive approach toward loosening crypto regulations. But today\u2019s update on the agency\u2019s active rulemaking agenda marks perhaps its most concrete move yet to turn those promises into official agency policy. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"my-4 border-b border-decryptGridline\">\n<div class=\"text-start p-8 md:py-12 md:px-12 max-w-prose relative\"><span class=\"border-t-4 border-l-4 w-4 h-4 md:border-t-[6px] md:border-l-[6px] md:w-6 md:h-6 border-decryptPurple dark:border-decryptNeon gg-dark:border-cc-pink-2 absolute top-4 left-4 md:top-6 md:left-6\"\/><span class=\"border-t-4 border-l-4 w-4 h-4 md:border-t-[6px] md:border-l-[6px] md:w-6 md:h-6 border-decryptPurple dark:border-decryptNeon gg-dark:border-cc-pink-2 absolute rotate-180 bottom-4 right-4 md:bottom-6 md:right-6\"\/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font-akzidenz-grotesk font-bold text-xl md:text-3xl md:text-center gg-dark:text-white\">Daily Debrief<!-- --> Newsletter<\/h3>\n<p>Start every day with the top news stories right now, plus original features, a podcast, videos and more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In brief The SEC unveiled a new rulemaking agenda proposing major rollbacks of crypto asset regulation, with nearly half of 20 new rules focused on digital assets.
