SEC Chair clearly promotes cryptocurrency regulatory framework, the United States may usher in a federal digital asset regulation era
February 13 News, during a Senate hearing, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul Atkins for the first time systematically articulated his latest stance on cryptocurrency regulation. He stated that establishing a federal-level regulatory framework for the crypto asset market in the United States is "long overdue." This statement is seen as a significant policy signal, indicating that the U.S. is shifting from an "enforcement-first" approach to a phase of "rule-based" system building.
For years, U.S. regulation of the crypto industry has mainly relied on case-by-case enforcement, lacking unified standards, with unclear compliance pathways for companies, and frequent obstacles to capital and innovation. Atkins pointed out that this fragmented approach can no longer meet the current market scale, and regulators need to coordinate operations within the same framework rather than acting independently.
