What Are the SEC’s New Crypto Regulations?
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), led by Chair Paul Atkins, just released its Spring 2025 regulatory agenda. This new agenda aims to clarify the crypto market with focus on key areas like crypto issuance, custody, and trading rules. The goal? To provide more certainty in the market, which could mean lower compliance costs and encourage investment in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
Why does all of this matter? This move is in response to the urgent need for structured regulations that can foster innovation while still protecting investors. The SEC hopes that clearer rules will attract more institutional and retail investors, ultimately strengthening the marketplace.
