Key Takeaways
So, the SEC has been chatting it up with their Crypto Task Force, and they might finally be ready to give us some actual rules. Can you imagine? Actual rules! Like, what do I do with my crypto now? 🤷♂️
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has dropped a new agenda for the crypto world. They’re saying it’s all about making things clearer and easier for everyone. But let’s be real, how often does the government actually make anything easier? 🙄
SEC Chair Paul Atkins thinks this is the start of a “new day” at the SEC. I mean, if he says so, who am I to argue? 🙃
“Today, we released the Unified Agenda of Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions. This agenda reflects that it is a new day at the SEC.”
This Spring 2025 Unified Agenda is supposed to bring more clarity to trading crypto and make the market more certain. Because, you know, nothing says “certainty” like a bunch of new rules. 🤦♂️
Atkins claims that setting clear rules for crypto is his top priority. I’m sure he’s not just saying that because he’s tired of people asking him what to do with their Bitcoin. 🙄
“A 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.”
Great for Wall Street?
Some of the recent changes are getting rid of the strict rules from the Biden era. The SEC says this will allow crypto to be traded on big exchanges and other platforms. Because, you know, what’s better than mixing crypto with traditional finance? A side of fries, maybe? 🍟
The SEC and the CFTC even teamed up to give the green light to traditional exchanges supporting spot crypto assets. So, if you were thinking about buying some Bitcoin on Nasdaq, now’s your chance! 🚀
Experts say this could make crypto “mainstream.” I mean, if by mainstream you mean “everybody’s doing it but nobody really understands why,” then sure, it’s mainstream. 🤷♀️
The SEC also plans to review the Consolidated Audit Trail to make life a bit easier for market players. Or, at least, less confusing. 🤯
None of this is really a surprise, considering the SEC’s Crypto Task Force has been having lots of public discussions. And they’re still open for more comments. Because, you know, why not? 🤷♂️
For example, market maker Wintermute asked the SEC to clarify its jurisdiction and declare network tokens as non-securities. Because, apparently, they don’t want to be treated like securities. Who knew? 😂
And let’s not forget, this is all part of President Trump’s pro-crypto policy. Since he came back to office, they’ve been undoing all the crypto enforcement actions from the Biden era. Because, you know, what’s better than a fresh start? A fresh start with fewer rules. 🎉
CFTC’s Acting Chair Caroline D. Pham wants the U.S. to lead the way in cross-border crypto regulations. Because, apparently, we need to be the ones making the rules. Not just following them. 🇺🇸
“The U.S. must return to being a rule maker, not a rule taker. We must be leaders in establishing a cross-border regulatory framework for crypto and Web3 that ensures deep liquidity and efficient markets.”
