SEC’s ‘Project Crypto’ Seeks to Define Rules for Crypto Trading
Reading Time: < 1 minute
The SEC is taking steps to bring clarity to the $2T crypto market with “Project Crypto,” a new regulatory framework announced by Chair Paul Atkins.
The plan, responding to a White House digital assets report, includes:
- Single-license multi-asset trading, allowing brokerages to handle both crypto and traditional instruments.
- A formal split between crypto commodities and securities, reducing legal ambiguity.
- Grace periods for DeFi and ICOs, giving innovators breathing room before full compliance kicks in.
Atkins also rejected forcing DAO structures for compliance and advocated for legal self-custody rights.
Analysts say the proposal could reduce regulatory uncertainty, a major hurdle for institutional crypto adoption.
