SEC Leaders Push for Regulatory Clarity in Crypto Markets
🏛️ SEC Finally Gets Crypto
SEC Chairman Paul Atkins unveiled Project Crypto, a groundbreaking initiative to modernize U.S. securities regulation for blockchain technology. The project aims to position the U.S. as a leader in tokenized finance.
Key components of the framework:
- Regulatory clarity for tokenized securities
- Support for compliant crypto distributions
- Modernized custody rules with self-custody rights
- Unified regulatory approach for crypto services
- Innovation exemptions for new technologies
The announcement acknowledges that regulatory uncertainty has pushed innovation offshore. Project Crypto seeks to reverse this trend by embracing tokenized securities, stablecoins, and crypto infrastructure as fundamental elements of American capital markets.
We're thrilled to see SEC leaders Paul Atkins and @HesterPeirce push for regulatory clarity and financial privacy. ZK is the only path to scalable, secure, compliant digital finance. ZKsync is built for this moment and ready to lead the way.
