Brian Armstrong said he appreciates Paul S. Atkins and the SEC for making progress on token classification, calling it a long-awaited step toward modernizing the financial system. According to Odaily, he said he has long called for clear crypto rules, added that token classification is needed for U.S. innovation, and said he looks forward to the SEC's Innovation Exemption to support onchain trading of tokenized stocks. He also said the CLARITY Act should be passed quickly and that markets should move onchain before other regions do.
