Just now, there has been a significant shift in the regulatory winds in the United States!
The SEC is engaged in fierce discussions with financial giants Citadel Securities, Coinbase, and Galaxy over the regulation of tokenization, making the divide between traditional finance and the crypto industry regarding "decentralization" completely public.
But this is not just a quarrel; it represents a major shift in regulatory thinking: it has moved from a past of "strict enforcement" to exploring feasible paths of "disclosure + compliance".
📌 Core highlights:
🔸 SEC executives are softening their stance: Chairman Paul Atkins has clearly stated the need to balance innovation with investor protection, emphasizing the need to provide compliant pathways for new technologies.
🔸 Coinbase is signaling compromise: willing to let DEX assume some compliance obligations of CEX in exchange for clear rules.
🔸 Decentralized standards may be established: Citadel suggests the SEC set up a "sufficiently decentralized" safe harbor, using the degree of decentralization as the key determinant for the applicability of securities laws.
💡 My viewpoint:
This shift is likely to promote the establishment of "decentralized safe harbor" rules—if realized, it will directly end the regulatory chaos of "all tokens being classified as securities by default!"
What does this mean for the market?
✅ Short-term benefits: tokens of relatively decentralized public chains like $ETH , $SOL , $AVAX , and mainstream DeFi governance tokens.
✅ Long-term trend: the United States is expected to return to being a center for crypto innovation and capital accumulation.
2025 may officially mark the turning point for U.S. crypto regulation from "winter" to "spring."
Stop waiting—compliance pathways are being laid out, and the door for institutional funds to enter is about to open! Now is the best time to position yourself in leading decentralized projects.
