SEC Chair Paul Atkins is pushing for an "innovation exemption" to fast-track crypto product launches while rules catch up with tech.
The proposed relief would allow compliant crypto firms to bypass certain regulatory barriers temporarily—unlocking faster innovation.
Atkins links the move to President Trump’s pro-crypto vision, urging developers and builders to drive blockchain progress from U.S. soil.
Unlike the Gensler era, the new SEC aims for transparency through public rulemaking—not regulation by enforcement.
