The chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Paul Atkins, announced the "Regulation Crypto Assets" regulatory framework at the "SEC Speaks" conference, marking a shift from "enforcement-driven regulation" to a clear rule system.

The framework classifies digital assets, identifying btc-42">Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana as "digital commodities," primarily regulated by the CFTC; the SEC focuses on "digital securities," which are tokens with clear rights to profits or asset claims. Additionally, the framework introduces a "token safe harbor" mechanism, allowing projects to develop and raise funds under simplified disclosure requirements for up to three years. The SEC also signed a memorandum of understanding with the CFTC to reduce overlapping regulation and clarify responsibilities.
