Galaxy Research said a redeemed 2013 Casascius Bitcoin triggered two valid alerts after returning to the same address in one block.
The rare event occurred because two separate transactions with different IDs involved the same monitored wallet.
The redemption also moved two one-satoshi dust deposits before Bitcoin continued trading near key support levels.
A 2013 Casascius 1 BTC coin generated an unusual onchain event after its redemption triggered two separate alerts within the same Bitcoin block, according to Galaxy Research. The event occurred when the redeemed Bitcoin briefly returned to the same legacy address before moving again, creating two valid transactions that involved the monitored wallet and prompting Galaxy's tracking system to issue two alerts.
Two Transactions Trigger Separate Alerts
According to Galaxy Research, the redeemed Bitcoin did not leave the address permanently after the first transaction. Instead, the proceeds returned to the same legacy address before another transaction spent them again within the same block.
Because Galaxy's alert system identifies activity using both the transaction ID and wallet address, each transaction produced a separate alert. The research team said the notifications were not duplicates because each transaction carried a different transaction ID.
Galaxy also explained that its protection against repeat notifications only blocks alerts in subsequent blocks. It does not suppress multiple alerts generated inside a single block, making this an uncommon address reuse case.
Galaxy Head of Research Alex Thorn described the activity as unusual. However, he said the firm had no broader explanation beyond monitoring blockchain activity as it occurs.
Dust Transactions Add Another Detail
Galaxy Research noted the legacy address had received two separate one-satoshi dust transactions before the redemption. Those tiny deposits remained in the wallet until the coin moved.
The redemption transferred 1.00000002 BTC, including the dust. According to Galaxy, 0.99899300 BTC then returned to the same address before another transaction spent it again, creating the second alert.
Bitcoin Holds Near Key Support
Meanwhile, Bitcoin traded near $62,900 during the event. The chart showed the asset recovering modestly after falling toward the $59,000 area earlier.
However, the 50-day moving average remained below the declining 200-day moving average, indicating the broader trend stayed bearish. Immediate support stood near $60,000, followed by $57,800. Meanwhile, resistance appeared around $67,900, then $72,900, with stronger resistance near the 200-day moving average between $76,000 and $78,000.

Ripple's five-year deal makes XRP the first cryptocurrency to appear on jerseys of a major NCAA Division I athletics program.
The XRP logo will appear on Kansas Jayhawks football, men's basketball, women's basketball, and other athletic uniforms.
The partnership also includes financial literacy programs, technology education, and career opportunities for University of Kansas students.
Ripple has signed a five-year partnership with the University of Kansas, placing the XRP logo on Jayhawks athletic uniforms. Kansas Athletics announced the agreement after the NCAA allowed corporate logos on Division I uniforms beginning in August 2026. According to the university and Ripple, the deal makes XRP the first cryptocurrency to appear on the jerseys of a major NCAA Division I athletics program while expanding an existing relationship between both organizations.
XRP Heads to Kansas Athletics Uniforms
Kansas Athletics said the XRP patch will appear on football, men's basketball, women's basketball, and other Jayhawks uniforms. The agreement was arranged through Learfield and Jayhawk Sports Properties, which manages the university's sponsorship portfolio.
Athletic Director Travis Goff said the partnership reflects a shared commitment to innovation. He added that the agreement connects Kansas Athletics with the broader technology sector through Ripple.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse also highlighted the announcement on X. Garlinghouse, a University of Kansas economics graduate born in Topeka, described the partnership as a rare moment where his professional career and alma mater came together.
Football coach Lance Leipold, men's basketball coach Bill Self, and women's basketball coach Brandon Schneider also welcomed the collaboration, citing the university's focus on innovation.
Partnership Extends Beyond Branding
Kansas Athletics said the agreement includes financial literacy and technology education programs for student-athletes and the wider university community. Ripple also plans to expand career opportunities by connecting Kansas graduates with technology industry employers.
The partnership builds on existing ties between both organizations. The University of Kansas already operates an official XRP Ledger validator through its engineering school, making it an active participant in the XRP ecosystem.
NCAA Rule Opens New Sponsorship Category
The NCAA approved corporate logos on Division I uniforms in January 2026, allowing schools to begin displaying them from August. Kansas became one of the first universities to announce a jersey sponsorship under the new policy.
According to the information released, Ripple's agreement marks the first cryptocurrency jersey partnership involving a major NCAA Division I athletics program. Following the announcement, XRP declined 1.55%, while futures open interest increased modestly, indicating higher trading activity despite the price movement.

Eightco treasury composition as of July 8, 2026: $90M OpenAI equity (indirect), $18M Beast Industries equity, 16,278 ETH, 283 million WLD holdings, and $149M cash and equivalents, totaling approximately $397 million
Worldcoin token (WLD) now listed on Robinhood (NASDAQ: HOOD), expanding access to millions
OpenAI recently announced that it submitted a confidential S-1, setting itself up for an initial public offering
Eightco provides indirect exposure to some of the most innovative private companies including OpenAI and Beast Industries
EASTON, Pa., July 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ORBS) ("Eightco" or the "Company") today provided an update on its total holdings, highlighting its position across digital assets and strategic investments in leading private technology companies.
As of July 8, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. ET, ORBS' holdings include a $90 million investment (indirectly, through SPVs) in OpenAI, an $18 million funded investment in Beast Industries, a $1 million investment in Mythical Games, 283,452,700 Worldcoin (WLD) at $0.39 per WLD (per Coinbase), 16,278 Ethereum (ETH), and approximately $149 million in total cash and stablecoins, for total holdings of approximately $397 million.
Top Headlines Driving the News:
ORBS management believes the Company's treasury portfolio holds some of the most critical components for the future AI and digital financial system. This week's top headlines include:
OpenAI announced it will publicly release its GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra and Luna models on July 9, 2026. According to OpenAI, GPT-5.6 Sol is its "strongest model yet" and is more capable across coding, biology and cybersecurity (CNBC).
On July 8, it was announced that the OpenAI Deployment Company agreed to acquire Northslope, an applied AI firm. The deal expands the Deployment Company's team to hundreds of "forward deployed engineers" (FDEs) who work alongside customers to build AI systems within their organizations. This highlights how the AI race may be defined by who can get businesses to use their AI tools rather than model releases (Axios).
On July 7, ABC announced MrBeast will appear as a guest Shark on Shark Tank Season 18 this fall. The appearance marks the world's most-subscribed creator's debut as an investor on the program (ABC).
On July 6, World opened its flagship London store, where visitors can learn about the benefits of private proof of human and verify their humanness via an Orb (World).
Later this month, on July 24, 2026, the amount of WLD entering the market each day will automatically drop by 43%, from about 5.1 million to about 2.9 million tokens per day, as the token's heaviest three-year release period ends (World Foundation). This schedule was established in the World whitepaper at the token's inception. The Company holds 283,452,700 WLD, about 8.1% of all WLD on the market today and the largest publicly disclosed position in the world. That position does not change on July 24, what changes is the supply of WLD will continue to increase, but the rate of supply increases following July 24 will be at roughly half the previous pace.
"Seemingly every week, the capabilities and innovations from AI continue to astound markets," said Thomas "Tom" Lee, Board Member of Eightco. "OpenAI's upcoming release of GPT-5.6 and its acquisition of Northslope demonstrate that the next phase of AI is not only about building more capable models, but also driving enterprise adoption at scale."
"Regarding World, we view their expansion into London as reflective of the growing importance of trusted digital identity as AI becomes increasingly integrated into everyday life. We believe ORBS is uniquely positioned through its exposure to both OpenAI and World, two platforms that are helping define the future of artificial intelligence and the infrastructure required to support it." continued Lee.
Eightco: Exposure to key mega-trends
Eightco is built around three mega-trends the Company expects to shape the next decade of innovation: artificial intelligence, digital identity, and the creator economy, with positions in each trend through indirect investment in OpenAI (23% of ORBS' treasury holdings), Worldcoin (28%), and Beast Industries (5%).
Artificial Intelligence — OpenAI
Eightco has invested approximately $90 million in special purpose vehicles with exposure to equity interests in the parent company of OpenAI, representing approximately 23% of treasury assets, one of the highest disclosed concentrations of any listed vehicle.
ChatGPT, OpenAI's consumer app, is the #1 consumer AI app worldwide (Sensor Tower) and crossed 900 million weekly active users in February 2026, making it the fastest-scaling consumer technology in history (UBS via Reuters).
Digital Identity — WLD Token
Eightco holds over 283 million WLD, approximately 8.1% of circulating supply, the largest publicly disclosed institutional position globally and approximately 28% of the Eightco treasury's assets.
Worldcoin is the native token of World, a global Proof of Human network built by Tools for Humanity (co-founded by Sam Altman and Alex Blania) and stewarded by the World Foundation. Its Orb devices issue a privacy-preserving World ID that verifies a user is a unique human, not an AI agent.
Under World's announced business model, applications pay per-verification fees while end-user verification remains free, with both credential issuers and the World protocol monetizing verified-human authentication. World identifies a $6.35 trillion combined addressable revenue opportunity across 13 industries spanning banking, e-commerce, gaming, social media, and agentic AI (per Tools for Humanity).
Creator Economy — Beast Industries
Eightco has invested $18 million in Beast Industries equity, approximately 5% of treasury assets.
Beast Industries operates one of the largest direct-to-consumer reach footprints in the world, with a combined 500 million-plus follower base across platforms, anchored by MrBeast as the most-watched person on YouTube globally. As AI commoditizes content production, distribution and audience trust become increasingly scarce assets.
About Eightco Holdings Inc.
Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ORBS) is a publicly traded company executing a first-of-its-kind Worldcoin (WLD) treasury strategy, providing investors single-ticker indirect exposure to three of the defining trends of this cycle: artificial intelligence through its indirect investment in OpenAI, digital identity through its position as the largest public holder of WLD and the Proof of Human protocol, and the creator economy through its equity stake in MrBeast's Beast Industries. Backed by leading institutional investors including Bitmine Immersion Technologies Inc. (NYSE: BMNR), MOZAYYX, World Foundation, CoinFund, Discovery Capital Management, FalconX, Payward/Kraken, Pantera, and GSR, Eightco is building the infrastructure layer for human verification in the agentic AI era.

Scott Bessent said digital assets, stablecoins, tokenization, and modern payments will shape the future of global finance.
The Treasury secretary urged the U.S. to lead financial technology standards rather than adopt rules created by other nations.
Bessent said innovation in digital finance must also meet transparency, security, consumer protection, and law enforcement standards.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said digital assets, stablecoins, tokenization, and modern payment systems will shape the future of money during a June 23 speech in New York. Speaking at The Economic Club of New York's America 250 Gala Dinner, Bessent outlined five principles for U.S. economic policy and said the country should help establish standards for emerging financial technologies instead of allowing them to develop elsewhere.
https://twitter.com/Matt_Hougan/status/2074802517645426949?s=20
Bessent Outlines Digital Asset Strategy
According to prepared remarks from the U.S. Treasury, Bessent described the ability to set future economic standards as the third pillar of the administration's strategy. He said tomorrow's competition will extend beyond trade and instead focus on platforms, systems, and protocols that support global commerce.
Bessent said nations that fail to shape those standards could later operate under rules created by others. He added that open, secure, market-based standards would support innovation, intellectual property protection, and fair competition.
Turning to financial technology, Bessent identified digital assets, stablecoins, tokenization, and new payment systems as areas that will influence future financial infrastructure. He said the United States should support innovation that strengthens the dollar, improves efficiency, expands financial access, and preserves financial system integrity. However, he also said new technologies must meet transparency, security, consumer protection, and law enforcement standards.
Hougan Highlights Treasury Remarks
Following the speech, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan said he spent the morning reviewing Bessent's remarks. Hougan described the address as presenting a long-term vision for America's economic role over the next century.
Hougan also referenced economist Mohamed A. El-Erian, who called the speech "remarkably important." He pointed to Bessent's third principle as the section most relevant to digital assets.
Speech Links Crypto to Economic Policy
According to Bessent, America should help write the rules governing next-generation financial technologies instead of remaining on the sidelines. He placed digital assets alongside broader economic priorities discussed throughout the address.
Meanwhile, Hougan said Bessent's comments provide insight into Washington's approach toward crypto policy. He specifically highlighted the Treasury secretary's remarks that digital assets and related technologies will help shape the future of money, placing them within the administration's broader economic framework.

Kraken ranks first among MiCA-regulated exchanges with over $399 million in spot liquidity and $206 million in perpetual liquidity.
DefiLlama data shows Kraken leads market coverage with 1,704 listed markets, ahead of Coinbase and Crypto.com.
The MiCA framework is reshaping competition as licensed exchanges compete on liquidity, compliance, and trading products.
Kraken has emerged as the leading MiCA-regulated cryptocurrency exchange by spot liquidity, perpetual liquidity, and market coverage, according to DefiLlama's MiCA dashboard. The data, released after the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets framework took effect on July 1, shows Kraken ahead of Coinbase and other licensed trading platforms across key trading metrics.
https://twitter.com/WuBlockchain/status/2074918297368477962?s=20
Kraken Leads Across Trading Metrics
According to DefiLlama, Kraken holds $399.71 million in spot liquidity, the highest among MiCA-regulated exchanges. The exchange also leads perpetual liquidity with $206.90 million. Coinbase follows with $305.23 million in spot liquidity and $167.39 million in perpetual liquidity.
The gap between the two exchanges reaches nearly $95 million in spot liquidity. Meanwhile, DefiLlama's live dashboard later showed Kraken remaining above $400 million in spot liquidity. The platform also leads market coverage with 1,704 listed markets. Coinbase ranks second with 1,074 markets, while Crypto.com follows with 883.
Other Exchanges Show Lower Liquidity
Beyond the two largest exchanges, liquidity falls sharply across other regulated platforms. According to DefiLlama, Crypto.com reports $130.84 million in spot liquidity. Bitstamp follows with $54.62 million, while Bybit records $50.19 million.
OKX, Gate, and Backpack report $11.92 million, $6.94 million, and $5.43 million in spot liquidity, respectively. For perpetual liquidity, Backpack holds $41.19 million, while OKX reports $20.54 million. Gate, Bitstamp, and Bybit were not listed among the leading perpetual liquidity providers.
MiCA Creates New Competitive Landscape
According to DefiLlama, the dashboard allows users to compare liquidity, compliance status, fees, and market coverage across licensed exchanges.
Earlier reports noted that Kraken secured its MiCA license from the Central Bank of Ireland in June 2025. The authorization allows the exchange to provide regulated services across the European Economic Area.
Coinbase also established its MiCA operations through Luxembourg before the framework took effect. According to earlier reports, OKX expanded regulated services across 28 European Economic Area markets after receiving approval in Malta.
The latest DefiLlama figures show liquidity, trading products, and market coverage now distinguish licensed exchanges operating under the European Union's unified crypto regulatory framework.

Ron Wyden called on Senate leaders to preserve BRCA protections for non-custodial blockchain developers in the CLARITY Act.
Wyden said the proposal clarifies developers are not money transmitters if they do not control customer assets.
The senator argued BRCA preserves law enforcement powers while providing greater legal certainty for blockchain developers.
Sen. Ron Wyden urged Senate leaders to keep the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA) in any version of the Clarity Act brought to the Senate floor. Wyden sent the request to Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer as lawmakers continue discussions over the bill, while questions remain about support from law enforcement groups and several Democratic senators.
Wyden Defends BRCA Language
In his letter, Wyden said Section 604, known as the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act, would preserve legal protections for non-custodial blockchain developers. According to Wyden, the provision would codify existing federal policy by clarifying that software developers should not become money transmitters simply for publishing software.
He said the protection applies only when developers do not control customer assets. Therefore, developers creating non-custodial tools would receive greater legal certainty under the proposal.
Wyden added that the language aligns the Bank Secrecy Act with the criminal code while reflecting existing guidance from the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.
Debate Continues Over Senate Bill
The request comes as uncertainty remains over whether some law enforcement organizations will support the BRCA language.
According to the information provided, lawmakers are also weighing whether revisions could help secure votes from Democratic senators, including Catherine Cortez Masto and Mark Warner.
Wyden argued that removing the provision could affect software developers building decentralized finance applications in the United States. He also noted that he introduced the standalone BRCA legislation alongside Senator Cynthia Lummis as the Democratic co-sponsor.
Letter Stresses Law Enforcement Powers
Wyden said the proposal would not weaken anti-money laundering or counter-terrorism financing requirements. Instead, he wrote that the measure would preserve the authority of the Department of Justice and FinCEN to investigate criminal activity.
He also pointed to an exception within the proposal. According to Wyden, developers who transfer or use funds connected to illegal activity would not receive protection.
The senator said the approach would allow investigators to focus resources on unlicensed money-transmitting businesses and other criminal actors. He closed the letter by urging Thune and Schumer to retain the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act in any Senate version of the Clarity Act.

Robinhood Chain will allocate 10% of protocol net revenue, with 8% going to the Arbitrum DAO treasury and 2% to development.
Robinhood Wallet now supports bridging assets from multiple blockchains and swapping tokens on Robinhood Chain.
The Ethereum Layer 2 network targets tokenized stocks, real-world assets, and decentralized finance services.
Robinhood Chain has introduced a revenue-sharing model that directs part of its fees to the Arbitrum ecosystem, according to Offchain Labs co-founder Steven Goldfeder. The update follows Robinhood Chain's recent launch in Robinhood Wallet, where users can bridge assets from multiple blockchain networks and swap tokens. Goldfeder said the structure will support the Arbitrum treasury and development funding as enterprise adoption grows.
Robinhood Chain Fees Flow To Arbitrum
According to Steven Goldfeder, every Arbitrum Layer 2 network, including Robinhood Chain, will contribute 10% of protocol net revenue. He said 8% will go to the tokenholder-controlled Arbitrum DAO treasury.
Meanwhile, the remaining 2% will fund ecosystem development. Goldfeder also said Arbitrum One follows a different model. According to him, 100% of fees collected on Arbitrum One flow directly into the Arbitrum treasury.
The Arbitrum DAO factsheet describes the revenue source as protocol net revenue. Therefore, the calculation applies after network costs rather than total user fees.
Robinhood Wallet Expands Chain Access
The revenue update comes as Robinhood Chain becomes available inside Robinhood Wallet. According to Wu Blockchain, users can bridge assets from Solana, Ethereum, Arbitrum, and other supported networks.
After bridging, users can swap assets directly within the wallet application. Earlier reports from crypto.news said Robinhood Chain operates as an Ethereum Layer 2 network built with Arbitrum technology.
The same reports said the network focuses on tokenized stocks, real-world assets, and decentralized finance services. During testing, the network processed more than four million transactions in its first week.
Revenue Model Supports Treasury And Development
According to the Arbitrum DAO factsheet, Robinhood Chain launched on July 1 as a dedicated Arbitrum chain settling to Ethereum.
The factsheet states that 10% of protocol net revenue returns under the Arbitrum Expansion Program license. It also confirms that 8% goes to the DAO treasury while 2% supports the Arbitrum Developer Guild.
Robinhood has positioned tokenized stocks as a core product on the network. The report also said eligible users across more than 120 countries can trade tokenized equities through Robinhood Wallet and supported decentralized exchanges.
Goldfeder said the revenue model allows Arbitrum to capture value as enterprise adoption of its Layer 2 technology continues to expand.

Crypto adoption continues expanding as institutional participation grows despite ongoing uncertainty surrounding future U.S. regulatory direction and policy.
CZ said future political outcomes remain unpredictable, while broader blockchain adoption continues reshaping the industry's long-term trajectory globally.
Growing investor participation and public company involvement may reshape future crypto policy discussions across the United States political landscape.
Crypto Regulation Outlook remains a major discussion point after fresh comments addressed future U.S. policy uncertainty. Market participants continue monitoring regulation as digital asset adoption expands across investors and publicly listed companies.
CZ Addresses Future Political Uncertainty
Wu Blockchain shared remarks from Binance founder Changpeng Zhao following a CoinDesk interview. The discussion centered on possible future U.S. regulatory actions. Questions also focused on potential subpoenas under another administration.
https://twitter.com/WuBlockchain/status/2073710422839243113?s=20
CZ declined to predict future American political developments. He said political outcomes remain difficult to forecast accurately. That response avoided speculation regarding future enforcement decisions.
He also reflected on Binance's previous regulatory challenges. During that period, future policy direction appeared uncertain. He admitted later political developments surprised him.
His comments presented uncertainty as an ongoing market reality. Government priorities continue changing across election cycles. Crypto participants therefore remain attentive to policy developments.
Industry Adoption Expands Beyond Politics
The post shifted attention toward broader cryptocurrency adoption. CZ argued digital assets continue reaching wider audiences. More investors now participate across multiple market segments.
Publicly listed companies have also increased digital asset involvement. Corporate participation has expanded beyond early blockchain businesses. That development broadens cryptocurrency's economic footprint.
CZ suggested expanding participation could influence future political calculations. Larger investor communities create greater public interest in regulation. Policymakers increasingly engage with cryptocurrency-related issues.
Even so, he avoided predicting permanent policy support. Regulatory approaches may still change across administrations. Long-term adoption and political cycles therefore remain separate discussions.
Technology Growth Remains the Central Theme
The post also referenced CZ's comparison with artificial intelligence and the internet. He described cryptocurrency as another transformative technology. Adoption continues advancing despite regulatory uncertainty.
CZ stated blockchain technology has no practical "delete button." Decentralized networks continue operating across global markets. Development therefore extends beyond any single jurisdiction.
Innovation also continues through international participation. Developers, investors, and companies operate across multiple countries. Market activity remains geographically diversified as adoption grows.
The interview presented no forecast regarding future enforcement actions. Instead, it focused on cryptocurrency's broader development trajectory. Growing participation continues shaping the Crypto Regulation Outlook as digital assets become increasingly integrated into financial markets and corporate activity worldwide.

Tether burned $2.5 billion in Ethereum-based USDT, marking its largest single burn since February 2026.
Binance's Tron USDT balance dropped to about $806 million, its lowest level since December 29, 2025.
Analysts said the simultaneous supply shifts likely reflect treasury management and cross-chain liquidity rebalancing.
Tether burned $2.5 billion worth of USDT on the Ethereum network on July 7, its largest single burn since February 2026, according to CryptoQuant. On the same day, Binance's USDT balance on the Tron network dropped to about $806 million, its lowest level since December 29, 2025, drawing attention to simultaneous shifts in stablecoin liquidity.
Ethereum Burn Reaches Five-Month High
According to CryptoQuant, the July 7 transaction reduced Ethereum's circulating USDT supply by approximately 1.3%. The blockchain analytics firm said it was the largest single Ethereum burn recorded in roughly five months.
However, analysts noted that USDT burns usually reflect treasury management rather than permanent supply destruction. They explained that Tether commonly burns tokens during customer redemptions or while rebalancing supply across different blockchain networks.
Despite the burn, USDT continued trading near its one-dollar peg. That stability suggested the operation aligned with routine supply management rather than unusual market conditions.
Binance Tron Holdings Hit Multi-Month Low
At the same time, Binance's USDT balance on the Tron network declined below the $1 billion mark. According to CryptoQuant, the balance fell to approximately $806 million.
The latest figure represents Binance's lowest Tron-based USDT holdings since December 29, 2025. Tron has historically served as one of the primary settlement networks for USDT transfers and exchange activity.
CryptoQuant said the decline crossed a closely watched liquidity threshold. However, available blockchain data does not identify whether the reduction resulted from customer withdrawals, cross-chain transfers, or other treasury adjustments.
Analysts Track Cross-Chain Stablecoin Activity
According to CryptoQuant, the combination of a major Ethereum burn and shrinking Tron liquidity deserves close monitoring. The analytics firm highlighted that both events occurred on the same day.
Analysts added that large USDT burns typically accompany treasury operations and blockchain rebalancing. Nevertheless, they said the simultaneous reduction in Ethereum supply and Binance's Tron balance stands out because both movements occurred together during the same reporting period.

The SEC will propose new rules covering crypto assets, exchanges, broker-dealers, custody, and tokenized securities.
Chairman Paul Atkins said the agenda aims to provide regulatory clarity while supporting innovation and investor protection.
The upcoming meeting begins the public rulemaking process before the SEC considers final crypto regulations later this year.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has outlined its 2026 regulatory agenda, confirming a crypto rulemaking meeting will take place this month. According to the SEC, the effort will introduce proposals covering crypto assets, exchanges, custody, and broker-dealer rules while seeking public input before final regulations move forward later this year.
Crypto Rules
According to the SEC, the upcoming proposals aim to clarify the regulatory framework for crypto assets. The agency said the rules will provide greater certainty for issuing, trading, and holding digital assets while maintaining investor protections.
The SEC also plans to review exchange regulations alongside broker-dealer requirements. Proposed amendments include changes to liquid capital standards, customer asset protections during insolvency, and recordkeeping rules where crypto assets are involved.
Meanwhile, the agency said the proposal seeks to establish clearer rules for tokenized securities and on-chain financial markets. It added that the framework should reduce uncertainty while continuing enforcement against parties violating securities laws.
Paul Atkins Details Agency Priorities
SEC Chairman Paul Atkins said the agency has made significant progress since the start of his tenure. According to Atkins, the Commission wants its regulatory framework to reflect technological changes across financial markets.
He said the SEC aims to support innovation by creating clearer rules for crypto fundraising, custody, and on-chain trading. Atkins also said the agency intends to advance President Donald Trump's goal of making the United States the global center for crypto innovation.
The agenda also includes proposals to simplify disclosure requirements for public companies. Additionally, the SEC plans to explore broader retail participation in private markets while maintaining investor safeguards.
Meeting Opens Public Rulemaking Process
According to the SEC, this month's meeting will begin the formal rulemaking process rather than finalize new regulations. Draft proposals will become available for public comment before the Commission considers final adoption.
The agenda also follows several policy changes under Atkins. Notably, the SEC has shifted toward developing tailored crypto regulations after previously relying heavily on enforcement actions during former Chairman Gary Gensler's tenure.

The SEC is preparing a crypto safe harbor framework covering tokenized securities, DeFi, custody, and on-chain transactions.
Regulators will review proposed exemptions for ICOs, staking rewards, airdrops, and digital asset trading platforms.
The proposal may establish conditions for tokens to exit securities status once their networks become sufficiently decentralized.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission plans to release a proposed crypto safe harbor framework for public comment as early as this month under its 2026 rulemaking agenda. According to SEC Chairman Paul Atkins, the proposal seeks to establish clearer regulatory pathways for tokenized securities, decentralized finance, and other on-chain activities while reducing enforcement uncertainty and maintaining investor protections.
Safe Harbor Proposal Takes Center Stage
According to the SEC, the proposal forms part of its broader effort to modernize financial regulations and support innovation in digital assets.
The agency said it intends to provide exemptions and safe harbors for certain blockchain-based financial activities. Those measures would establish legal pathways for crypto fundraising and other on-chain transactions.
The proposal also aims to address tokenized securities, decentralized finance applications, and digital asset custody. Additionally, the SEC plans to clarify how market participants can facilitate trading and custody while complying with federal regulations.
Chairman Paul Atkins said the agenda reflects efforts to encourage innovation while protecting investors and supporting capital formation.
Rulemaking Targets Key Crypto Activities
The SEC also scheduled an agency meeting this month to discuss several cryptocurrency rule proposals. According to the meeting agenda, regulators will review exemptions covering initial coin offerings, staking rewards, and airdrops.
The agency also plans to examine new requirements for crypto exchanges, broker-dealers, and alternative trading systems. In addition, officials will discuss institutional on-chain custody of digital assets.
The proposal would also establish regulatory conditions for trading tokenized real-world assets. Another item focuses on decentralized finance. Under the proposal, front-end developers would not register as broker-dealers if they do not execute transactions on the platforms they build.
Public Comment Process Follows Draft Release
Following the meeting, the SEC expects to publish draft rules for public comment before adopting final regulations later this year. The agency also plans to discuss how digital tokens could transition out of securities classification once their networks become sufficiently decentralized.
According to Atkins, the rulemaking agenda supports the administration's goal of expanding digital asset activity in the United States while preserving investor safeguards. The meeting also comes as Congress prepares to consider the CLARITY Act later this month.
