The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has launched Project Crypto, a comprehensive regulatory initiative aimed at modernizing America’s digital finance landscape. The program focuses on establishing clear cryptocurrency regulations while integrating decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms into regulated financial markets.
At the core of Project Crypto is the creation of an innovation-friendly regulatory environment designed to boost market efficiency and investor confidence across U.S. crypto markets. The initiative introduces a unified broker-dealer license system to streamline compliance processes across diverse asset classes.
The SEC emphasizes that this effort represents a strategic move to incorporate DeFi platforms into mainstream financial structures. Chair Paul Atkins highlighted Project Crypto’s significance in updating regulatory frameworks to accommodate digital finance evolution.
