Citing Coindesk, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul Atkins stated that the agency is working on a package of exemptions for crypto assets tied to investment contracts. In remarks prepared for a Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia event, Atkins emphasized the need to streamline the regulatory process to support innovation and investor protection. He noted that investment contracts can expire and should not be assumed to last indefinitely, even if the underlying asset continues to trade on a blockchain. Atkins also highlighted that tokens linked to investment contracts could be traded through non-SEC-regulated platforms, such as those overseen by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission or state regulators. The SEC is also collaborating with Congress to enact market structure legislation that would codify its crypto regulatory stance.
