On June 30, Paul Atkins, Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), stated at the Economic Club of New York that the United States is responding to the Trump administration's call to become the "crypto capital of the world." Through a new "crypto initiative," the SEC will accelerate the updating of its digital asset regulatory framework, clarifying which crypto assets are securities and whether they fall under SEC jurisdiction, providing clearer regulatory boundaries for issuers, investors, and entrepreneurs. Crucially, the SEC has signed a historic memorandum of understanding with the CFTC, attempting to unify key definitions and coordinate regulatory responsibilities. The crypto industry has long been plagued by ambiguous regulations and overlapping oversights; now, the U.S. is attempting to transform this "regulatory no-man's land" into fertile ground for market-driven blockchain and crypto innovation.
